Africa South of the Sahara

The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) has been at the forefront of efforts in Africa to promote the education of girls and women. Created in 1992 as a response to the slow pace of implementation of Education For All (EFA) Goals in sub-Saharan Africa and registered in Kenya as a pan African NGO in 1993, FAWE has since grown into a network of 33 National Chapters across sub- Saharan Africa in anglophone, francophone and lusophone countries. The Website provides information about the Forum, its vision/mission, about the different levels of membership, the character of the FAWE National Chapters and the FAWE programmes: advocacy activities, demonstrative interventions (e.g. the Centres of Excellence Programmes), influencing policy replication & mainstreaming, strategic resource planning. The FAWE Newsletter (pdf- files) and a publication list are made available. Links lead to important declarations affecting girls' education in Africa and to partner websites.
