Replicating WES in schools for education of girls in Sokoto State, Nigeria
conference contribution
posted on 2018-02-12, 15:09 authored by Gloria O. OnyiloThe water and sanitation sector in Nigeria has many donors as key contributors since water supply has linkages with
many other development indicators. The donor funded programmes are usually on a small scale compared to the size
of the country; therefore, replicating the tested models while scaling up is key to reaching the unserved populations. In
Sokoto State (NorthWestern Nigeria), in an attempt to bridge the gap between girls and boys in primary schools, the 3-year
Girl’s Education Project (GEP) funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) is being implemented in
partnership with UNICEF Nigeria and this includes cash contribution from the State Government. The Rural Water and
Sanitation Project is utilizing this money to replicate the programme in other schools within the State simultaneously with
the implementation in the GEP schools. This has been achieved because it fitted with Government priorities and ensured
clarity among the stakeholders involved.This paper draws out the learning on replication from implementing the water
and sanitation components of the GEP project in Sokoto State.
