The TEGINT project began in January 2008 and ended in December 2012. The project intended to achieve a transformation in the education of girls in Nigeria and Tanzania, enabling them to enrol and succeed in school by addressing key challenges and obstacles that hinder their participation in education and increase their vulnerability to HIV and AIDS. Research was an integral part, contributing to deepening understanding and responsiveness to key issues for girls’ education in Tanzania, Nigeria and internationally, advancing the project’s implementation and influencing advocacy initiatives. The themes covered by this research report, including girls’ empowerment and attainment, teacher engagement, school management and school levies, remind us of the critical importance of paying attention to perpetual gender gaps and learning from the rich experiences of girls’ education projects such as from TEGINT.O.

But what is good quality education and how do you find out if it exists in the area you are working? Building a nice school is not enough. This document gives some guidelines about how to improve the quality of education in developing countries.Wilde Ganzenhttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/434654http://www.search4dev.nl/record/434654K.

In current War Child programmes, beneficiaries and their communities often prioritise educational activities. While in some programmes, components of education were included, no official position or policy was developed. In January 2005, during the HQ Operations strategic sessions in Balk, the signal was given to investigate and propose strategies on education within War Child programmes. The Management & Methodology Week 2005 gave the opportunity to investigate current practice in War Child programmes and explore possibilities to elaborate and expand this component. At the end of 2005, assessments on possibilities for complementary education in the Sierra Leone and DRC programmes were carried out, and education activities were set up in Sierra Leone and Uganda. In 2006, a connection was made with the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE). Taken together, this laid the foundation for a State of the Art on Education in War Child Programmes. The intent of this paper is to further advance the inclusion and expansion of various educational activities in War Child’s programmes.I. GoldbergE.

The main purpose of this publication is to assure the quality and assess the impact of the Aflatoun programmes around the world. It is also a tool for evaluating Aflatoun’s use of resources, whether people, materials or money, to ensure that they are being used as efficiently and effectively as possible. Lastly, Children & Change offers lessons learned as well as Aflatoun’s dreams and aspirations for the future.Aflatounhttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/399057http://www.search4dev.nl/record/399057Medicines intended for the European market are increasingly tested on clinical trial participants outside the EU in low and middle income countries. Over the past years, SOMO and Wemos have collected extensive evidence of violations of ethical principles and guidelines in such trials. In this briefing paper SOMO and Wemos provide the European Parliament, the European Commission and the European Medicines Agency(EMA) with policy recommendations to take their responsibility and address this problem.SOMOWemoshttp://www.search4dev.nl/record/397459http://www.search4dev.nl/record/397459This report is written in contribution to the second Barefoot Guide to Learning Practices in Organisations and Social Change. It is about taking up the challenge for each of us to learn more about ourselves. Why should we do that? How does that contribute to learning and to social change? What route does the journey of selfknowledge and personal growth take? What can we use on that journey?A.

The particular focus is on experiences of pre-school and transitions to primary school. The paper is based on analysis of Young Lives survey data (Young Lives is a 15-year longitudinal study of childhood poverty) collected for a sample of 1950 young children born in 2001, and drawn from 20 sites across Andhra Pradesh, plus two rounds of in-depth qualitative research carried out with a sub-sample of 24 children in four Young Lives sites.N.
