Dear Colleagues,
You are cordially invited to an official virtual side event of the
Global Education Summit, Increasing Aid for Girls’ Education and Family Planning in the West African Sahel. Combined, these two investments could shift demographic
trends, dramatically improve the well-being of families, and pave the way for peace in the region.* The meeting is being hosted by OASIS, with our partners, Centre for Girls Education, L’Initiative OASIS Niger, and the Ouagadougou Partnership Coordination
Unit.
This virtual event will enable us to find and engage new allies within governments and the donor community.
One way you could support us is by recommending this event to key stakeholders from the Sahel and beyond by forwarding this email. We would also appreciate being introduced to relevant contacts for advocacy
efforts following the event. Should you have any other ideas for event promotion, or any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of us or email
oasis@....
The meeting agenda is forthcoming. Speakers will represent Sahel governments, bilateral donor agencies, academia and civil society.
We look forward to seeing you at our virtual event on Tuesday, July 27th from 13:00 - 17:00 GMT+1 (5:00 - 9:00 am PDT). Please click the link below to register
