This Joint Programme aims at reducing barriers preventing access to quality education for girls in the newly merged districts (MD) of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. It is a part of the overall United Nations’ programme for improving the education indicators in Pakistan and particularly in the newly merged districts of KP, which have faced massive displacement as an aftermath of militancy in the region. This displacement has disproportionately affected girls and women, as even in times of peace these groups have significantly lower access to resources and decision-making as well as reduced mobility, than their male peers. These disparities have been further exacerbated by displacement. The project contributes to the Government of Pakistan’s FATA Sustainable Return and Rehabilitation Strategy, launched by the Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and FATA on 7th July 2015.

The joint programme will improve access to quality education for 9,125 girls and 4,800 boys across 155 formal schools, 100 ECE classes and 55 Second Chance/ ALP centres in the target districts in the newly merged districts. Careful attention will be paid to ensure outcomes address key cross-cutting issues of gender mainstreaming, conflict sensitivity, disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and capacity development while being mindful of protection issues.
