This project aims to enable adolescent girls to experience healthier, safer, and more empowered life transition into adulthood by 2030. Project activities include: (1) building the capacity of adolescent girls to exercise their rights and demand services related to their sexual and reproductive health; (2) engaging men, boys, and communities to support gender equality and the rights of adolescent girls; (3) ensuring the availability of commodities and supplies in local health facilities; (4) building the capacity of service providers at multiple levels to ensure availability of quality services related to gender-based prevention and response, social protection, and social justice; (5) addressing policy implementation, regulatory and accountability bottlenecks; (6) strengthening the capacity of institutions and regulatory bodies to coordinate and standardize delivery of quality services; and (7) encouraging meaningful participation of young people to demand accountability. The project targets 400,000 married and unmarried adolescent girls as direct beneficiaries, with special attention given to migrant girls and girls with disabilities. It is implemented in the Volta, Ashanti, Eastern and Northern regions of Ghana.
