Alas youth peer education program: young women and men (ages 13 to 19) trained as youth leaders provide accurate reproductive health information and service referrals to their peers through community-based activities. Our evidence-based training curriculum uses an educational strategy that addresses gender and power in intimate relationships, with a focus on pregnancy prevention for adolescents. In 2023, this program reached 9,574 adolescents through educational activities and counselling.
Monitoring and evaluation: ongoing m&e activities are completed throughout the year for all alas activities. A number of tools are used to gather data for monitoring and evaluation activities, including pre- and post-tests, focus groups, phone call interviews, on-site observation of educational talks, and records of all services provided. Analysis of each year's results allows us to plan future programs and new interventions.
