We are two weeks away from the 1st African Union Pan-African Conference on Girls and Women’s Education (AU-PANCOGEd1). The conference will bring together all key voices on girls and women’s education on the continent to deliberate strategic methods of positioning equitable access to quality education and skills development for girls and women during the AU Theme of the year 2024 and beyond.
