The objective of this toolkit is to explore the diverse experiences of adolescent girls, boys, parents, community leaders and service providers when engaging in a multi-level adolescent empowerment and gender norm change initiative. The tools were developed as part of a mixed methods impact evaluation of the Act with Her (AWH) programme, which has been implemented by two non-governmental organisations (NGOs) – Pathfinder and CARE – which aimed to shift discriminatory gender norms and improve the educational, health, psychosocial and economic outcomes of Ethiopian adolescent girls.

Delivered in diverse rural and urban communities in Afar, Amhara and Oromia regions, the project implemented an age-appropriate curriculum that focused on sexual and reproductive health, negotiation skills, and gender norms with adolescent girls and boys with near-peer mentors.
