According to the first revised Development Project Proposal (DPP) of the project, its tenure was fixed from April 2018 to June 2026.

To implement the directive, all district deputy directors, upazila women affairs officers, field supervisors, gender promoters, and recitation and music teachers have been instructed to take necessary measures.
