Abstract	This publication focuses on strategies for meeting international targets and national goals for universalizing girls' access to, retention in and completion of quality education. This will be done through "scaling up" successful interventions, or components of interventions that can be replicated. UNESCO published this book within the framework of the United Nations Girls' Education Initiative (UNGEI), the Education For All (EFA) flagship for girls' education and the principal movement to narrow the gender gap in primary and secondary education by 2005. This publication provides both analysis and a few guidelines, drawing on lessons from numerous initiatives in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, as laid out in the Introduction. The rest of this publication is structured in five chapters. Chapter 2 provides a conceptual map to the terms "gender parity" and '"gender equality." Chapter 3 discusses lessons from operational approaches, distinguishing between targeted, systemic and enabling approaches. Chapter 4 provides an overview of definitions of "scaling up." Chapter 5 focuses on lessons from and for efforts to "scale up" girls' education. Chapter 6 brings together the analysis of gender-equality reforms and the policy and institutional dimensions of "scaling up" to provide a map of how to proceed, identifying key steps and some analytical guidelines that can help the process.
