• The primary objective of ENGINE II is to increase the literacy and numeracy (learning outcomes) of the retained 21,162 retained girls, now aged between 18 to 23 years old. The program also seeks to facilitate girls’ “transitions” into higher academic grades and/or a range of economic opportunities (vocational training, entrepreneurship).

• ENGINE II is currently in its inception phase. Implementation of the programme is scheduled start in April 2018 upon completion of a baseline evaluation
