From October 1-3, 2025, 237 participants, 55% of whom were female, from 22 countries and 111 organisations met to discuss What Works in Girls’ Education in Uganda and beyond. The Conference aimed to share evidence and strategies for improving education outcomes for all children, with a special focus on girls. With only five years left until the expiry of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2030, this conference served as a timely call to accelerate progress on quality education and gender equality (SDGs 4 and 5) through stronger local leadership, strategic collaboration, and increased investment. The Conference produced several key takeaways and recommendations summarised in a communiqué that can be accessed here
