Abstract

In the 2000s, access to primary education for girls expanded rapidly in Niger. From 2006 to 2009, the gross intake ratio in the first grade of primary school increased by 30 percentage points. Local communities, educational offices, and other actors in a region undertook to expand girls’ enrollment and implemented mutually reinforcing activities. This study examines the impact of this region-wide initiative through an interrupted time-series analysis, and it reviews the process of establishing collective impact. The case of Niger demonstrates that collaboration among different actors can accelerate girls’ enrollment and suggests the potential of collective impact in educational development.
