Synthesis of Learnings | Lessons Learnt from GAA Programme in Africa

This publication provides a synthesis and compilation of the significant lessons that have been harvested from the fiveyear GAA programme implemented in the Africa Regional Program and the six GAA Africa country programmes, namely Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.

The GAA operated under a three-tiered governance structure that allowed for strong technical input, clear decisionmaking, accountability, flexibility, and on-ground coordination. This was constituted by the Alliance Programme Teams (APTs) at the operational level, the Alliance Programme Committee (APC) at the tactical level, and the Board of Directors (BoD) at the strategic level. The governance and management of the Girls Advocacy Alliance Programme are supported by the Alliance Desk.
