Manzoor Ahmed

Education Watch Initiative Team Leader, Campaign for Popular Education (CAMPE) Champion since 2022
Advocating for green, gender-responsive and digitally-oriented education

The Issue

While Bangladesh has seen significant progress in girls’ education over the past two decades, girls in remote and climate-vulnerable areas continue to face challenges in accessing 12 years of free, safe, quality education.

Manzoor’s approach

Community Advocacy, Research, Policy Reform

Manzoor has spent decades working on education research and development across academia, government and nonprofits spaces. Today, he works as the team leader of the Education Watch initiative at Campaign for Popular Education (CAMPE) in Bangladesh. CAMPE is a national alliance of more than 900 education NGOs, scholars and advocates concerned with the right to education and gender equality in Bangladesh.

With their grant, Manzoor and the team at CAMPE work to influence both schools and regional and national decision makers to provide students with a more gender-responsive, climate-resilient and digitally-oriented secondary education. One advocacy tool plan to use in their advocacy is research. CAMPE will research the barriers to girls’ education in eight low-income, climate vulnerable districts, where girls are most likely to drop out of school. The organisation will also work with 32 schools to offer girls programming focused on leadership development and climate preparedness.
