View full report

Evaluation of USAID programme. Although their impact is difficult to isolate and measure, programs aimed at empowering and educating Nepalese women appear to enhance the education of both girls and boys.

Concludes that

  • Development of skills and knowledge among mothers can translate into higher levels of educational attainment among children
  • The magnitude of the impact of literacy and microenterprise activities on children’s education varies by socioeconomic and cultural context
  • Increased earnings by mothers do not necessarily or immediately translate into more education for their daughters
  • Maternal support for education stimulated by program participation translates into private and social savings

Also available is a synthesis report on USAID experience in girl's education
