Communications for social norm change around adolescent girls: Case studies from Uganda

A multi-year, multi-country study is exploring the complex ways in which gender-discriminatory social norms, attitudes and practices are shaping and/or constraining adolescent girls’ capabilities and under what conditions changes may be brought about, particularly around norms and practices related to early marriage and education. The study is being conducted by the Overseas Development Institute,, in partnership with national research teams in Uganda. This country briefing summarises the findings of the third year of research in Uganda, which reviewed the national programme and policy environment and analysed design features and reported impacts.
