Aid by Sector
Girls Education Challenge (Phase II)
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
This Girls' Education Challenge Phase 2 will enable up to 1 million marginalised girls (currently supported through Phase 1) to continue to learn, complete primary school and transition on to secondary education. A further 500,000 highly marginalised adolescent girls, who are out of school, will also be targeted to gain literacy, numeracy and other skills relevant for life and work. It is estimated that at least 400,000 girls will complete junior secondary school in the first four years of the extension. The extension will build on what we have learnt so far in Phase 1 and further deepen global understanding of what works for girls’ education, particularly during adolescence and in the transition from education to work.
Syria Independent Monitoring 2
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
The aim of this programme is to provide independent monitoring of DFID-funded projects in Syria. Due to security risks, DFID has no presence in Syria and our staff manage projects remotely from Lebanon and the UK. This means we are unable to directly monitor the delivery and quality of DFID projects. Independent monitoring is our principal method of ensuring funding in Syria is being used as intended. It allows us to verify partners reporting and enhances the quality of our oversight. It is also instrumental to our risk mitigation and quality and control measures. The expected impact of this programme is to improve portfolio and programme delivery and performance, leading to improved development outcomes and stronger public and ministerial confidence in DFID Syria programming.

A lack of attention and funding has severely limited evidence of what works to deliver inclusion in international development for approximately 800 million people with disabilities in developing countries. Interventions that work will be scaled up, widening their reach, and new learning and evidence shared across the global development community and national governments.
