Module 3 - Co-designing child marriage prevention strategies with girls and their community

This self paced module will help you design and deliver child marriage prevention strategies that are tailored to the unique risks, protective factors and contextual dynamics as identified by adolescent girls and their community. This module walks you through how to reduce stigma and discrimination towards ever married girls and their families when designing and delivering prevention strategies in humanitarian programming.

This module is part a larger Learning Series to Tackle Child Marriage in Crisis and Forced Displacement Settings developed jointly by UNHCR and Plan International on behalf of the Alliance. 

This module. Module 3 - Co-designing child marriage prevention strategies with girls and their community

This Learning Series responds to key challenges and gaps in knowledge and capacity as identified by country teams. The content has developed based on piloting throughout 2021-2023. 

There are currently three modules in the Learning Series available in English and French:

1. The adolescent girl-responsive approach to child marriage programming

2. Supporting married girls and unmarried girls at risk of child marriage in case management

3. Co-designing child marriage prevention strategies with girls and their community
   

Modules can be taken in any order, but it is recommended to start with the Module 1 on the adolescent girl-responsive approach to child marriage programming in order to ensure a strong foundational knowledge of the topic and the guiding theory behind the other technical modules.

These modules have been developed for self-guided learning or as part of a group study guided by a technical facilitator. If you are interested to set up a study group, please contact us.
