The Forum for African Women Educationalists in Zimbabwe (FAWEZI), in partnership with the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE) and with support from UNICEF, successfully convened TAGO Project Reflection Meetings in Hopley and Epworth.

The reflection meetings brought together representatives from 34 TAGO project schools, district education officials from Highglen and EPMAFARA, and a MoPSE Harare Province representative, providing a structured platform for collective learning, assessment, and forward planning. The engagements focused on identifying home-grown mitigation measures to address implementation challenges experienced during the Transforming Adolescent Girls Opportunities through STEM and Skills Development (TAGO) Project.

Grounded in local realities and practitioner experience, the discussions generated practical, sustainable strategies to enhance teacher capacity, strengthen access to digital tools, and promote inclusive STEM learning environments that better respond to the needs of adolescent girls. By leveraging local insights and institutional knowledge, stakeholders reinforced the value of context-specific solutions in advancing girls’ participation and success in STEM and skills development.

These reflection processes underscore FAWEZI’s commitment to locally driven, sustainable approaches that strengthen system-level capacity and ensure the long-term impact of interventions supporting girls’ education, innovation, and leadership in STEM.
