I am so pleased to share the evaluation of our work in Burkina Faso. It's taken persistence, agility, ingenuity, and creativity for our global team to pull off a cluster randomized trial during the pandemic.
The best part: the solutions made a difference for girls.
Nearly 1 in 4 girls in Burkina Faso will become pregnant, and many do not wish to be. Learn how a board game is making a difference in 16 secondary schools here: bit.ly/3evE9yn@ICRW@reshmatrasi
