TEGINT methodology toolkit: Working with Parents, SMCs and PTAs

Downloads

For space to be created for girls and for Girls' Clubs to work, the support of parents and community leaders is vital.  this section provides ways for TEGINT facilitators to work with these stakeholders to promote their support and encourage their championing of the girls.  This can be done directly with informal groups of parents, and also through School Management Committees (SMCs) and Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs).  This toolkit also recommends working with Reflect circles to create forums with these and other adults who influence girls' education.  Reflect facilitators, like all facilitators working with the TEGINT project, will need training on gender and HIV and AIDS issues along with other community development and poverty issues.
