Term of Reference for GASS Project
The project is currently being implemented at the Wassa Internally Displaced Persons’ Camp in FCT, Abuja, Nigeria, where there is an estimated number of over 600 out of school girls, who are likely to be married off before they are 18years of age with most of them bearing more than 6 children before age 25.
