Final reflections
from Final reflections - Achievements and lessons learned from the GATE project - Sierra Leone, 2022
The Girls’ Access to Education – Girls’ Education Challenge (GATE-GEC) was a four-year UK Aid-funded project. It was led by Plan International UK and implemented by Plan International Sierra Leone, alongside consortium partners Action Aid, Humanity and Inclusion and the Open University. The project worked across six districts in Sierra Leone supporting marginalised girls and children with disabilities to attend school, reach their full learning potential, learn in a safe and inclusive school environment, and successfully transition to further education and beyond.
In this piece, Section 1 details the interventions undertaken by GATE GEC, Section 2 covers how the project pivoted to support their beneficiaries during COVID-19, and Section 3 covers the impact in numbers as reported in the baseline, midline and endline evaluations. Finally, Section 4 shares reflections on what worked, the challenges it faced and what might have been done better.
