Girls' Education Monitoring
System (GEMS)
GEMS works
with interested countries to develop procedures and consistent measures
of the aggregate effects of girls' and women's education efforts supported
by USAID. GEMS assists countries to determine their information needs related
to girls' education initiatives, to design methods for collecting needed
information and to use information to enhance program outcomes
Girls' Education:
An Annual Review
Annual reports
on the status of girls' education will be published in electronic and print
formats. Topics of interest to developing countries carrying out girls'
education initiatives will be presented using a variety of quantitative
and qualitative research techniques.
Measuring
the Results of Girls' Education Country Initiatives
In May 1998,
over 400 leaders from the private, media, governmental, religious and NGO
sectors from over forty countries met at the international conference Educating
Girls: A Development Imperative to discuss and make commitments to girls'
education in their countries. GEMS supports the efforts and actions of
interested countries by working with conference delegates to monitor and
report on the progress of their initiatives. GEMS is a mechanism for continuing
the cross-national dialogue generated by the conference.
