On International Women’s Day, UNESCO launched the call for nominations for the 2020 UNESCO Prize for Girls’ and Women’s Education. The Prize awards US$ 50,000 annually to two laureates making outstanding efforts in favor of girls’ and women’s education.
The Prize was established by the Executive Board of UNESCO at its 197th session and launched in 2016 with generous support from the government of the People’s Republic of China. The Prize contributes to two Sustainable Development Goals: “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” (Goal 4) and “Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls” (Goal 5).
Who Can Submit Nominations?
Nominations can be made by Governments of UNESCO Member States via their Permanent Delegations to UNESCO, and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in official partnership with UNESCO. Nominations must focus on an established project or program of the candidate specifically advancing girls’ and women’s education. Each Permanent Delegation or NGO can make up to three nominations for any edition of the Prize. Self-nominations are not accepted.
Nominations Acceptance Terms:
The nominations will only be considered if the project/program:
- has a clear focus on advancing girls’ and women’s education, and the promotion of gender equality in and through education, and contributes to one or more of the five priority areas of the Prize:
- Participation: Supporting girls to transition from primary education to lower-secondary education and to complete full basic education.
- Literacy: Supporting adolescent girls and young women to acquire literacy skills.
- Environment: Supporting the creation of a gender-responsive and safe teaching-learning environment.
- Teachers: Engaging teachers to be change agents with gender-responsive teaching attitudes and practices.
- Skills: Supporting girls and women to acquire knowledge/skills for life and work.
- has already been running for at least two years; and
- shows evidence that it may be replicable, scalable and/or provide significant learning potential for initiatives in other contexts.
Selection Criteria:
The project/program of the candidate will be assessed by the Jury based on the following three criteria:
Impact:
The project/program’s impact should be qualitatively and/or quantitatively measurable and deliver tangible results relative to the invested resources. This can include demonstrable changes in:
- attitudes, beliefs, and practices in favor of girls’ and women’s education;
- girls’ educational participation, attendance, completion and learning outcomes; and/or
- removing barriers to girls’ and women’s education, such as gender bias and stereotypes.
Innovation:
The project/program can demonstrate innovation in terms of:
- the themes covered;
- the methodology employed;
- the channels used to create change for girls’ and women’s education;
- the specific knowledge mobilized about gender-related aspects of girls' and women's education in order to elaborate on innovative solutions; and/or
- other aspects, such as tools and products advancing girls’ and women’s education.
Sustainability:
The project/program has taken steps, ideally from its design or implementation phases, to ensure it will have a lasting impact on girls’ and women’s education beyond the project lifecycle. This may include efforts to ensure the:
- continuation of local action in favor of girls’ and women’s education;
- institutionalization of approaches, tools, and products, to advance girls’ and women’s education;
- sustainable ways to ensure stakeholders’ mobilization; and/or
- generation of further initiatives to advance girls’ and women’s education as a result of the project/program.
Submission Procedure:
- Nominations must be submitted online in English or French by the Permanent Delegation to UNESCO of the concerned Member State, or by an NGO in official partnership with UNESCO.
