The Gender at the Centre Initiative (GCI) is an innovative program working with governments, civil society, young feminist activists and local actors to advance gender equality in and through education. The initiative strengthens technical gender capacity, fosters political will and supports the transformation of harmful gender norms. Jointly coordinated by UNGEI and IIEP-UNESCO, GCI is currently implemented in eight countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. Through a unique partnership model called the GCI Alliance, GCI is building a strong social movement for gender-transformative education. GCI’s vision is to bring this powerful initiative to more countries, strengthening education systems towards gender equality, so that all girls and boys experience a full, high quality and gender-transformative education.
