The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/India mission contracted Banyan Global to undertake a gender and social inclusion analysis in the education sector to inform USAID/India’s 2020–2025 Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS). USAID/India set out to identify key gender and social-exclusion issues, inequalities, constraints, and opportunities in the education sector. The findings and recommendations in this report support USAID/India in developing its CDCS and guide gender integration and social inclusion throughout the mission’s education strategic planning, programs, projects, and activities throughout all aspects of the program cycle.
