In 2016, Population Services International (PSI), with funding from the Gates Foundation and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF)launched Adolescents 360 (A360), a 4.5-year project working directly with young people to design and deliver interventions that increase demand for, and voluntary uptake of, modern contraception among adolescent girls aged 15-19. This series of technical briefs introduces A360’sdesign and implementation of four interventions across three countries: Smart Start in Ethiopia, Kuwa Mjanjain Tanzania, Matasa Matan Arewa (MMA) in northernNigeria, and 9ja Girls in southern Nigeria.
A360 pursued an expansive approach, emphasizing meaningful engagement of young people toco-design interventions that would be relevant to them within the individual country contexts, while maintaining an emphasis on continuous project learning.
