These improvements should in turn lead to change in girls' behavior and performance in school, and thus greater female survival, confidence, achievement and retention. Moreover, this particular study will help identify ways of improving what we do to advance girls' schooling. 2012-08-13T09:39:38Z 2012-08-13T09:39:38Z 2000-08 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2000/08/12355981/female-school-participation-west-africa-success-factors http://hdl.handle.net/10986/9835 English Africa Region Findings & Good Practice Infobriefs; No. 164 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Africa
