Hajia Nana Fatima High from Ghana's Ministry of Education (Project Coordinator of the Ghana Education Outcomes Project (GEOP)), spoke about GEOP in a session on “Harnessing Impact: Lessons from the Frontlines of Outcomes Funds.” She noted that the project to date has helped over 17,000 previously out-of-school children integrate into mainstream schools in Ghana and highlighted how flexibility and continuous learning have been important to the success of the project.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT GENDER NEUTRAL and has a greater impact on those who are most reliant on natural resources for their livelihoods.    Women, and particularly elderly, immigrant, indigenous, and young women, are disproportionately represented in this group.    For example, studies show that women and girls are 14 times more likely than men to die during natural disasters. 70% of fatalities from the 2004 Asian tsunami and 96% of fatalities from the 2014 Solomon Islands floods were women and children.    Check out how to close gender gaps with Results-Based Financing in climate change projects #internationalwomensday #iwd https://lnkd.in/gDA_3m4M

The World Bank’s Global Partnership for Results-Based Approaches (GPRBA) approved a $25.5 million grant to harness outcome-based financing—a form of RBF that ties payments to the achievement of measurable outcomes—to help out-of-school children (OOSC) reintegrate into Ghana’s formal education system and improve learning outcomes. With the UK Government providing this grant through GPRBA’s Outcomes Fund and the government of Ghana contributing an additional $4.5 million to the program, the primary focus will be to support marginalized OOSC, including girls, children with disabilities, and children from lower-income households. This GPRBA grant builds on the ongoing work of the IDA-funded Ghana Accountability for Learning Outcomes Project (GALOP). The GALOP aims to improve the quality of education in low performing basic education schools and strengthen education sector equity and accountability in Ghana. https://lnkd.in/d-Y-wv4 #internationaleducationweek #educationday #educationforall
