Introducing Adolescents 360: Designing and Implementing Adaptive, Youth-Centered Programming in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Nigeria

With powerful global evidence demonstrating the risks to maternal and child health posed by too early and too frequent childbearing, and adolescent girls throughout Ethiopia, Tanzania and Nigeria left at risk of unintended pregnancy, A360 saw an opportunity to reframe the contraceptive conversation – based on an understanding of girls’ dreams and life goals.

This introductory publication, meant to be read in conjunction with our series of intervention case studies, presents the lessons from designing and implementing our interventions over our first investment phase (2016-2020). Over that time our interventions supported over 400,000 girls to voluntarily adopt a modern contraceptive method.
