Report

The report, which covered the AU Member States, captures the voices of girls and their lived realities under the pandemic. The findings of the report indicate that girls have been proportionately affected by Covid-19.

Girls Advocacy Alliance (GAA) has been leading the discourse on the impact of Covid-19 on girls by building the evidence base. Plan International and African Child Policy Forum (ACPF) partnered to produce a major study report titled “Under Siege: The Impact of Covid-19 on Girls in Africa”. The organisations launched the report on August 19, 2020, coinciding with International Humanitarian Day.
