The Promotion of Girls' Education (PROGE) project is a UNICEF-funded project implemented by Creative Centre for Community Mobilitization (CRECCOM) that operates in the low-income districts of Chikwawa, Mangochi, Nsanje, and Thyolo, with the goal of increasing retention and transition rates to the upper primary level (Standards 5-8) for marginalized girls in Malawi. One of the greatest education challenges these girls face is female discrimination that results from gender stereotypes regardingthe intellectual inferiority of girls when compared to boys. Thus, PROGE seeks to empower girls by increasing participation in life skills, providing incentives for academic competition, and sensitizing, motivating, and mobilizing community structures (teachers, village heads, SMC/PTA,mothers' groups, initiation counselors) in schools to eliminatepractices such as school-related gender-based violence.

To achieve these goals, the project uses a combination of strategies such as social and community mobilization, scholarships, and mentoring and advocacy. In particular, thePROGE project utilizes a three-pronged approach to engage students, teachers, and other community members in support of girls' education.

Girls' Education Networks | PROGE seeks to provide girls with a network of peers, family members, and other female role-models to encourage them in their pursuit of education. Through mentorship, counseling, and retreats, as well asgirls' groups and mothers' groups, PROGE students receive the mental and emotional support theyneed to overcome education challenges.

Female Teacher Networks | PROGE assists teachers through School Management Committees (SMCs) and teacher training initiatives that focus on the most effective ways to support girls' education.

Communication Initiatives | Through mass media interventions,PROGE provides local communitieswith relevant information on girls' education and the PROGE education project to encourage Malawian citizens to advocate for every girl's right to learn.Its methodology is centered on theSocial Mobilization Campaign Modelwhich emphasizes four key dimensions: research and verification, worker training, community-based sensitization, and village-based initiatives. Theseinitiatives are implemented in partnership with several government entities such as the Ministry of Gender, district education management offices, and primary education advisors.
