Pathways to Choice

The Pathways to Choice initiative by the Centre for Girls Education aims to create educational opportunities for marginalized girls in Northern Nigeria. It complements the Nigerian education system by focusing on enrolling out-of-school girls and transforming local gender norms around gender and marriage. The initiative also seeks to enhance girls’ self-esteem and agency, while training young women as learner guides to take up leadership roles.
