About the AIM Program

The Mastercard Foundation Accelerating Impact for Young Women

(AIM) in Partnership with BRAC is equipping 2 million adolescent

girls and young women (AGYW) with age-appropriate entrepreneurship

employability, and life-skills training, as well as the tools to

start and scale their own businesses. The nine-year program

(2021-2030) applies BRAC's proven model using microfinance, youth

empowerment, agriculture, education and skills development to

improve lives and livelihoods. It currently operates in seven

African countries: Sierra Leone, Liberia, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda

Ghana, and Kenya. Based on the AGYW age, needs, and circumstances

AGYW are placed on one of two pathways in the AIM program: an

education pathway or a livelihood pathway.

About the AIM Education Pathway

The AIM Education pathway is designed to increase access to and

completion of quality secondary education for adolescent girls

aged 12-17, across the AIM countries: Ghana, Kenya, Liberia

Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, and Uganda. The program seeks to

achieve three core objectives: (1) to empower 400,000 adolescent

girls by increasing their agency, voice, and life skills; (2) to

support adolescent girls to complete at least lower secondary

school; and (3) to improve gender-responsive education in at least

2,000 secondary schools, positively impacting an estimated 2.4

million students.

This AIM education pathway is closely aligned with the

Mastercard Foundation's strategic priorities under its Young Africa

Works initiative, particularly the emphasis on improving the

quality and accessibility of secondary education to better prepare

young people for meaningful work. Through a set of integrated

interventions, AIM Education targets structural and social

challenges that often hinder girls' education—including

financial barriers, inadequate infrastructure, undertrained

teachers, harmful gender norms, lack of community support, and weak

school governance systems.
