Advocacy for Impact: Gender and Education Year of publication: 2022 Author: Justine Brice | Elodie Gnonlonfoun | Marina Gutiérrez García de Viedma | Chattalie Jayatilaka Corporate author: United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) There has been an urgent need to include a gender-inclusive, anti-racist and decolonial lens in advocacy strategies in recent years. In the rare circumstances these lenses were applied, they were not effectively utilised when designing and implementing an advocacy campaign regarding education. Often, an intersectional approach was not used to consider context-specific power dynamics impacting girls’ ability to access education. The first objective of this report is to understand the “best practices to design and implement advocacy strategies that are gender-inclusive and anti-racist in the development sector, with a focus on gender and education”. The second objective was to examine the evidence regarding the effectiveness and impact of different advocacy strategies. Thirdly, the study aimed to understand the “best tools and approaches to measure advocacy impact." This research was conducted by an LSE student research team exploring gender-inclusive and anti-racist advocacy strategies.

A joint initiative from the Inter-agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE), Education Cannot Wait (ECW) and the UN Girls’ Education Initiative (UNGEI), the EiE-GenKit is a core resource package for gender in education in emergencies. The EiE-GenKit is the first resource of its kind, providing education practitioners with practical tools to promote gender-responsive programming from crisis to peace and sustainable development.The EiE-GenKit is based on extensive research and consultation with the latest resources, evidence, new tools and good practice available in one easy-to-use package. The EiE-GenKit builds on existing humanitarian processes for a streamlined approach to gender-responsive EiE. The EiE-GenKit offers tools for practical and immediate use including checklists, tipsheets and assessment templates supporting practitioners to ensure that each phase of an EiE intervention is gender-responsive. Bridging the gap between what we know about gender-responsive EiE and the tools we need to make it happen, the EiE-GenKit aims to promote improved gender and education outcomes of learners living in crises. 
In Solidarity With Girls: Gender and Education in Crisis (Policy Brief Series) Year of publication: 2020 Corporate author: United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) The In Solidarity With Girls: Gender and education in crisis policy brief series was developed through a series of intergenerational dialogues on gender, education and COVID-19.

Drawing on the ‘build back equal’ principle, this brief contributes to policy dialogues and discussions on (1) how we can plan for and work towards more equal, gender-responsive school systems once restrictions are lifted, and (2) achieve this through meaningful partnership with youth and youth-led networks. 
G7 Global Objectives On Girls’ Education: Baseline Report Year of publication: 2022 Corporate author: United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI) This publication serves as a baseline report to accompany efforts of the G7 Accountability Working Group to monitor progress towards the two global objectives. It presents evidence on low- and lower-middle-income countries’ progress in achieving the two global objectives and what remains to be done.It is important to stress that the two G7 global objectives on girls’ education are measures of gender parity, which are necessary but not sufficient as measures of gender equality. Assessing progress towards the latter requires information, which tends not to be available systematically enough to allow a comparative perspective. However, this report provides insights to remaining challenges.
