The Female Stipend Programme (FSP), widely acclaimed as a model for achieving gender parity of enrolment, was created in 1982 in Bangladesh to help increase the enrolment and retention of girls in secondary schools, delay their marriage and motherhood, and increase girls' income-earning potential. This paper is based on a desk study of the FSP for the Bangladesh office of the Department for International Development to evaluate the programme's effects. This evaluation finds that, while FSP has clearly had impact in terms of increasing enrolment, a lack of rigorous impact assessment means that little is known of its impact beyond access to schools. The study also identifies a number of shortcomings with the programme, particularly in meeting the needs of the poorest girls. |
