The UN Joint Programme on Girls’ Education (JPGE), implemented from 2014 to 2024 in Malawi, represents a collaborative effort between the Government of Malawi and three United Nations agencies: UNICEF, UNFPA, and WFP. The programme was designed to address systemic barriers hindering girls' access to and completion of quality education, in alignment with Malawi’s national development priorities and global commitments, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 4 – Quality Education). This UNICEF-led evaluation carried out in 2024 covered all three programme phases (2014-2024) across the four participating districts: Mangochi, Dedza, Salima, and Kasungu.
