Growing Up GREAT! End of Project Report

Growing Up GREAT! was designed as a flexible intervention that balances effectiveness and scalability, and seeks to shift priority norms through a nine-month multi-level intervention package that engages very young adolescents and adults. Implemented from 2017-2018 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Growing Up GREAT! aims to: 1) increase puberty and reproductive health knowledge, gender-equitable attitudes and behaviors, and self-efficacy of girls and boys ages 10 to 14 and 2) engage important adults in the lives of adolescents and the social systems in which VYAs are situated to foster an environment that values and supports their journey through puberty. This report serves as a comprehensive summary of the culmination of efforts from the partners engaged in Growing Up GREAT! for the past four years.
