- Sustainable Development Goal 1: No Poverty

The challenge
Why this work matters
Through more than fifteen years of work in education, we have seen capable children held back not by ability but by circumstance — families unable to meet basic educational costs, and young people who have fallen out of formal learning altogether.
Our intent
ABFAED's education work will focus on removing practical barriers to learning so that vulnerable children can access quality, relevant and inclusive education.
Focus areas
What this pillar will address
Access to schooling
Supporting children whose families struggle to meet basic educational costs, so that cost is not the reason a child leaves school.
Out-of-school children and young people
Creating routes back into learning for children and young people currently outside formal education.
Quality and relevance
Drawing on long classroom experience to support learning that is practical, inclusive and relevant to young people's futures.
Measuring progress
Indicators we intend to track
Results will be published once programmes begin and data can be verified. Indicators will be refined with partners during programme design.

- Attendance and progression of supported learnersReporting pending
