Description
The ultimate project goal or long-run development outcomes are that adolescents girls in Egypt fully enjoy their childhood free from the risk of child marriage, have access to social and health services, have knowledge around SRH and are able to develop to their full potential. Focusing investment directly on adolescent girls in defined geographic areas in Upper Egypt will collectively alter the perceived value of girls in communities, shifting the economic calculus underlying child marriage and early childbearing, and ultimately transforming sociocultural norms to align with girls’ rights in the programme’s geographic areas and eventually at the national level as well.

The expected immediate project outcomes are : ? Outcome 1 : Egypt uses robust data and evidence on child marriage and adolescent girls to inform programming and fosters an enabling environment and policy framework. (population Council’s interventions) ? Outcome 2 : Adolescent girls, at risk of and/or affected by child marriage, are better able to express and exercise their choices r eversing the practice of child marriage or cope well within the married life. ? Outcome 3 : Households and communities demonstrate positive attitudes and behaviours towards investing in and supporting adolescent girls. ? Outcome 4 : Youth friendly services and access to information and resources for adolescent girls health related needs are enhanced.
