Preventing Child, Early and Forced Marriage (CEFM) Through Open, Distance and Technology-Based Education: Progress Report #4

Abstract

Driven by Canada’s strong efforts to end child, early and forced marriage (CEFM), COL launched the GIRLS Inspire – CEFM project in 2016. The vision of GIRLS Inspire is a society wherein women and girls are economically empowered for sustainable livelihoods and no longer face barriers preventing their economic participation. // This report captures the progress of the CEFM project over the past two years. As per Global Affairs Canada’s guidelines, it provides an evidence-based narrative assessment of progress made on or towards the achievement of each of the expected outcomes and outputs identified in the logic model and performance measurement framework (PMF). It also provides actual data for each indicator as per the collection frequency identified in the PMF, as well as activities undertaken, results, lessons learned, best practices, challenges and limitations, as well as mitigation strategies where relevant.
