The Real Assets through Improved Skills and Education for adolescent girls aims to increase realization of rights to education and skills for work and life among adolescent girls and young women and men in the rural province of Western Samar, Philippines. It targets adolescent girls, young women and men who are out of school or in school but at risk of dropping out of school. Because all project activities were originally planned to be face-to-face, the project had to make adaptations with the overall goal of ensuring safety of teachers/learners, supporting continuity of learning, and protecting girls. 

We hope this scan and analysis can serve as an ongoing resource to those in the humanitarian sector and beyond. We hope it will provoke their thinking about what possibilities exist to serve their learning and education challenges, and how trends in the sector are moving toward or away from the kinds of solutions they might need for their work.

This note is intended to be helpful for technical staff in Ministries of Education, donor agencies, local education groups, and non-profit organizations in thinking through appropriate interventions. This global evidence it presents should be used alongside context-specific analyses and system diagnostics.
