Overview
2010–2016
In post-conflict northern Uganda, Pathfinder joined the Institute of Reproductive Health at Georgetown University and Save the Children to develop and test a package of innovative activities to transform gender norms, reduce gender-based violence, and promote gender equality and sexual and reproductive health among adolescents ages 10-19.
Project Activities
Created opportunities for young people to debate important topics—the ways girls and boys interact, how they share power, and how it affects their health
Met the needs of young people at their various life stages—from very young adolescents to married and parenting adolescents
Trained and mentored Uganda’s Village Health Teams to respond to adolescents’ urgent sexual and reproductive health needs
Supported community leaders and parents to take part in trainings to end harmful gender norms and become GREAT champions
Engaged young people using a community game, a serial radio drama, activities, and flipbooks, so they have fun while transforming their thinking
