This synthesis report presents an overview of the results from four diagnostic exercises conducted in Nepal, Pakistan, South Sudan and Uganda from November 2019 to March 2020. The diagnostic exercises consisted of a document review of relevant laws and policies, as well as interviews with stakeholders at the national, district and school-level to assess the degree to which these laws and policies are being implemented. The samples were not nationally representative, but they aimed to provide wide geographic coverage. Whilst the findings of this diagnostic exercise are country specific, the good practices identified as well as some common gaps and challenges among the country studies provide the basis for recommendations to policy makers and partners worldwide.
