Impact evaluation of the Adolescent Empowerment Programme in four states in India
Overview
As part of the IKEA-funded 'Improving adolescents’ lives in South Asia' programme, UNICEF implemented the Adolescent Empowerment Programme (AEP) in four districts from the states of Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Jharkhand and West Bengal in India with the goal of improving adolescents’ lives by impacting the adolescents, parents and communities as a whole. The AEP intervened across three pillars with variations across states: 1) empower adolescent girls and boys; 2) create an enabling environment at the community level by sensitizing parents and community functionaries; and, 3) strengthen government service delivery and child protection mechanisms at various levels. The intended final outcomes were to reduce child marriage, increase school enrolment and decrease adolescent pregnancy. Activities were implemented between 2015 and 2019.
The impact evaluation aims to assess the programme impact on intermediary and final outcomes, as well programme relevance and implementation fidelity. The evaluation uses a mixed methods approach combining a quantitative experimental impact evaluation (based on a survey of 700 community leaders, 4900 adolescents and 1400 parents in 420 intervention villages and 280 control villages) and qualitative research drawing on document review and key informant/in-depth interviews at national, state, district and village level, including with parents and adolescents.
