This article describes a number of research projects that seek to support Girls Inc, an initiative that explores the changing needs of girls through research-based programmes and public education efforts that empower girls to understand, value, and assert their rights.
Some of the research carried out at Girls, Inc. includes development of a national evaluation system to document changes in knowledge, skills, and attitudes of participants. Girls Inc. has included sample pretests and post tests, for example, measuring participants' knowledge, skills, and attitudes before and after participation, with each programme curriculum. Affiliates are described as having adapted these for their own reporting to funders and others.
