African Union CIEFFA Strategic Plan 2021 - 2025

The last two Strategic Plans of the African Union/ International Centre for Girls and Women’s Education in Africa (AU/CIEFFA), (2015-2017 and 2018-2020, respectively) and their corresponding evaluation reports have set a strong basis for this current Strategic Plan (2021-2025). Moreover, the contexts of crisis resilience, global trends, digital transformation, the need for 21st Century skills and demographics have also set the foundation in the orientation of this 3rd Strategic Plan.

With an extended remit of 5 years, this 3rd Strategic Plan situates the education of girls and women in the context of human capital and sustainable livelihood and is supported by a new approach that will enable it to make a leapfrog in African history. Therefore, gender intelligence and the active collaboration of boys and men constitute key and innovative approaches to this 3rd Strategic Plan.
