Our impact is driven by both research and the lived experiences of the people we serve. It spans research, systems strengthening, and behavior change, working across institutions and communities to advance adolescent health and gender equality. A few of our notable areas of impact include:

• Strengthening public education systems
  Supporting the integration of rights-based health education within public schools, enabling teachers to deliver consistent, age-appropriate learning that equips adolescents with knowledge on puberty, reproductive health, safety, and life skills.
• Generating evidence to inform policy and practice
  Conducting rigorous research, including randomized controlled trials and studies on online child sexual exploitation and abuse, to better understand the challenges adolescents face and to inform policies, programs, and safeguarding approaches.
• Advancing pathways to scale
  Identifying how effective interventions can move beyond pilot programs and be embedded within national and community systems, ensuring sustainable and scalable delivery of health education and support.
• Driving behavior change through targeted campaigns
  Implementing social and behavior change initiatives, including campaigns focused on HPV and COVID-19 vaccinations, that increase awareness, address misinformation, and improve uptake of essential health services.
• Expanding access to trusted information and referral pathways
  Connecting adolescents and communities to reliable, rights-based health information and services through integrated digital and community-based approaches, ensuring support is accessible when and where it is needed.
• Building adolescent agency and improving outcomes
  Equipping adolescents with the knowledge, confidence, and skills to make informed decisions about their health, relationships, and futures, contributing to improved health outcomes and greater gender equality
