BRIGHT

The BRIGHT project aims to improve equitable education outcomes for vulnerable girls and women living in targeted and conflict areas of Myanmar. This will be achieved by;

 – Increasing community led actions in breaking multi-dimensional barriers to gender equal education

 – Improving the availability of inclusive and innovative gender and climate responsive quality education systems. 

 – Increased access to gender-responsive, environment-sensitive, market-driven learning opportunities for livelihood skills, among vulnerable OOS girls and women.

The BRIGHT project is a multi-country project, with projects in Sudan, Niger and Myanmar. In Myanmar, the project is implemented in 70 villages located in 14 catchment townships: Taunggyi, Hsihseng, Pekon, Pin Laung, Lashio, Tangyan, Namtu, Hsipaw, Kutkai, Hpruso, Loikaw, Hpasawang, Mese and Bawlake of 3 States, Southern and Northern Shan and Kayah.

The BRIGHT project is funded by the Government of Canada and is being implemented through a consortium led by ADRA Canada and it’s partners (Canada’s Salanga; International partners ADRA Norway and Stromme Foundation; and implementing partner ADRA Myanmar).
