The Girls’ Education South Sudan (GESS) programme has begun its 2025 cash transfers to help girls and learners with disabilities stay in school. Supported by the UK government and the Ministry of General Education, the initiative provides direct payments to improve attendance and reduce dropout rates. Officials say the programme has tripled girls’ enrolment since 2014 and continues to promote equality, inclusion, and lifelong opportunities in South Sudan.
