MWAI Joins Girls CHARGE

 

Fall 2017.  Miske Witt and Associates International (MWAI) became one of 66 Girls CHARGE

(Collaborative for Harnessing Ambition and Resources for Girls Education) partners. Girls CHARGE

was launched as a 2014 Clinton Global Initiative Commitment to Action by the Brookings Institution's

Center for Universal

Education (CUE).

 

Girls CHARGE partners have

collectively committed to ensuring

by 2019 that approximately

15 million girls around the world

have: greater access to schooling;

safer schools; higher quality

learning; more success

transitioning to secondary, higher

education, or the workforce; and

trained leaders who can help

catalyze change in girls'

education.

 

MWAI is supporting Girls CHARGE in addressing the priority areas of Safety and Quality Learning.

MWAI is drawing on its experience in working with child-friendly school models for the past decade

as well as its current safe-schools work with a USAID-funded program in Malawi. Through "Safe

Learning Spaces and Gender Integration," a component of the Malawi Early Grade Reading

Improvement Activity (MERIT) initiative, MWAI is helping to improve awareness, policies, and praxis

around school safety and gender-equitable teaching.

 

In September 2017, MWAI CEO Shirley Miske was invited by Girls CHARGE to present an "IGNITE

Talk" on Gender Inclusive Teaching and Learning at its UN General Assembly Side Session in New        MWAI CEO, Shirley Miske presenting an IGNITE Talk on Gender Inclusive Teaching and Learning at        UN General Assembly Side Session in New York.
