Why it matters
Children cannot learn if they are not in school, and a child who enrols but stops attending is easy to lose without anyone noticing. Outcome 1 reduces the costs that keep children at home, builds community support for education, and tracks every learner so that drop-out is visible early.
What we do
Learner registration
Every learner is registered in SSSAMS with one persistent learner identifier that follows them through school.
Attendance monitoring
Daily attendance flows from the class register into SSSAMS, so absence patterns show within weeks, not at the end of the year.
Education-linked cash transfers
Payments for the learners most at risk of dropping out, including girls and children with disabilities. Eligible classes will be confirmed once discussions conclude.
Community mobilisation and radio
Radio, community dialogue and work with parent-teacher associations and school management committees to build support for keeping children in school.
How we track progress
- Enrolment, including new and transferring learners
- Attendance rates by school, county, sex and disability
- Promotion, repetition and drop-out across school years
- Cash transfer validation, payment and accountability
- Reach of radio and community mobilisation
