Following on from that success, we are now working to support disabled girls to transition from primary to secondary and vocational training. Social norms are difficult to change and take time to change. But this project has demonstrated effective strategies which drive and enhance the process of transformation.

It will demonstrate the potential for change by identifying the most successful interventions that strengthen the disability ecosystem.
