Globally, millions of girls face significant barriers to education due to inadequate menstrual hygiene management (MHM). Guyana is no exception, with disparities in access to menstrual hygiene products, sanitation facilities, and awareness about menstruation being particularly pronounced in rural, riverine, and hinterland communities
In many of these communities, adolescent girls struggle with the lack of access to private, clean, and safe sanitation facilities, coupled with limited access to affordable menstrual hygiene products. These challenges often result in absenteeism, school dropouts, and a perpetuation of gender-based educational disparities. The stigma surrounding menstruation also contributes to social exclusion and reinforces negative attitudes toward girls' education, further hindering their full participation in school life.
The Education Strategy (2019-30) ‘Every Child Learns’ identifies innovation as one of six programmatic approaches that has the potential to disrupt the conventional pace of expansion of education inputs and enable the improvement of learning. The Learning Passport (LP) is the flagship Digital Learning Programme of UNICEF, developed as a partnership between UNICEF and Microsoft. The Learning Passport delivers digital learning experiences to children around the world, in both connected and unconnected environments with 6m+ learners across 35+ countries, each with specific content needs and support.
The scale of the LP has created a surge in demand for technical assistance on programme monitoring and data analysis. This demand comes from Learning Passport implementing Country Offices (COs), Regional Offices (ROs), and HQ business units. The increased organizational focus on digital learning, specifically through the varying implementations of the Learning Passport, requires sustained technical capacity within the global team to meet the consistent and growing demands from implementing parties and the global Learning Passport user base. The global LP team wants to systemize evidence generation systems for the LP to understand what works, and under which conditions, as a priority activity that would accelerate the journey from the what to the how to improve learning outcomes.
