Education - Empowering Women and Girls through Knowledge and Skills, was announced as the overarching theme for the 2016-2019 FAWCO Target Program, at the Interim Meeting in Frankfurt, Germany (March 11-13, 2016).
Education is one of the most critical areas of empowerment for women. When girls are educated, they lead healthier and more productive lives. They gain the skills, knowledge and self-confidence to escape the cycle of poverty. They become better citizens, parents and breadwinners. An educated girl has a positive ripple effect on her health, family, community and society as a whole. - USAID
