Activities include promoting the integration of life skills and citizenship education in school plans in target districts, building skills of adolescents for learning, personal empowerment, and active citizenship and/or employability through UNICEF-supported programs, providing access to out-of-school children for early learning, primary or secondary education, enhancing the capacity of schools for quality prevention and response mechanism to address gender-based violence in and out of schools. The target is that by 2025 national capacity is strengthened to plan, implement, monitor, and coordinate evidence-based communication strategies to advance child rights through positive behavior and social change
