There is growing interest within Plan International in how to draw on the success of savings groups (also known as Village Savings and Loans Associations) to support Plan's education work, particularly in terms of breaking the financial barriers to girls' enrolment, attendance and completion. While there is a great deal of anecdotal evidence linking savings group participation to enhanced investment in education, more detailed and robust evidence is often lacking, and the exact links to educational outcomes often not explored in detail.
