"At the Stanford Social Innovation Review, Council researchers and Miriam Temin, Sajeda Amin, Thoai Ngo, and Stephanie Psaki unveiled a practical framework for designing and implementing programs that center around girls’ diverse needs, address multiple determinants of risk, and empower girls and improve their lives.
The framework contains seven core programmatic components – combining girls’ groups, safe space, mentors, gender and power content, economic empowerment, referral networks, and community engagement – and four key delivery approaches – such as intentional design and learner-centered pedagogy – to ensure programs reach the right girls with the right content at the right time. The aim is to provide a practical, multi-sectoral framework to help both decision makers and doers effectively empower girls and harness the potential of the largest-ever generation of adolescents."
