BRAC Uganda/Tanzania:The program • From girls clubs at the village level • Establish a set of peer mentors who will be with girls throughout the program • Provide a staged set of activities (w/trainers) • Socialization – give the girls time/space to find a social space (games, etc) • Life skills training (e.g. household budgeting) • General job skills training (e.g. how to behave at work) • Vocational training (based on local market assessment)
Preliminary results from Uganda:Which girls are more likely to intend to participate • Girls who place a high value on financial independence • Single mothers • Girls who are alienated from their families • Girls who are more likely to benefit • Believe that they could be successful entrepreneurs • Score low on quantitative skills • Girls from poorer villages, but not necessarily the poorest girls within villages • Girls from villages that have been previously exposed to NGO projects are less likely to participate
