Additionally, it explores the perceptions and experiences of the program's beneficiaries to gain insights into its overall efficacy and potential for enhancing gender equality in education. The findings of this research will contribute to the understanding of the Stipend Program's outcomes and inform future policies aimed at advancing girls' education in the region.
