| dc.description | Cameroon has over 3.3 million adolescent girls, accounting for approximately 12% of the population. However, girls face systemic and structural barriers to their educational attainment. Transition rates from primary to lower secondary school remain low for girls, particularly among rural and low-income populations. The gender gap is widening, with only 35% of girls completing lower secondary school (UNESCO, 2024). | |
| dc.description.abstract | This brief is part of the IGNITE (Inspiring Girls and Grassroots Networks for Inclusive and Transformative Education) project in Cameroon, supported by Agence Française de Développement (AFD), and implemented by a consortium of IRC, PASGR, UAF-A, and RMF. The findings are drawn from a Political Economy Analysis (PEA) of the education sector with a focus on the role of feminist civil society organizations (CSOs) and policy stakeholders in promoting girls’ education. | |
