<p>Throughout the training sessions, presentations were delivered on critical areas such as Life Skills Development, Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and Safe Space Demonstrations, which are essential components of the life skills curriculum.</p>
<p>The training is expected to significantly enhance the capacity of educators and mentors to support and empower adolescent girls in Gombe State through quality life skills education.</p>
