Linking Adolescent Girls to Green Skills, my documentary for this project, shown at GIZ India Week (4 min)

The problem

The study looks at how adolescent girls in India can be linked to technical and vocational education and training (TVET) programmes, and ends with recommendations for policymakers. It was written by Dr. Sanjukta Mukherjee (Optima Solutions Consulting) and Manmohan S. Chauhan (GIZ India).

In the field

Made a four-minute documentary with the girls training in Ranchi, Jharkhand
Designed the layout and type system for all 60 pages
Turned the study's methodology, framework conditions and scaling model into diagrams
Designed the policy tables and gap-analysis matrices so they read at a glance

What I made

A 60-page report with an executive summary, three chapters, six figures and eight tables. I set the grid and type, designed every figure and table, and built the red chapter openers that structure the document.
