Abstract
Gender inequality persists in Northern Ghana, particularly affecting school-age girls who face multiple barriers to education. A mixed-methods approach involving surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions among girls, parents, and educators. The gender equality programming successfully addressed educational access issues and fostered girls' self-esteem, contributing to long-term benefits. Continue and expand the programme with targeted support for marginalized communities and sustainable funding mechanisms.
