Description
The UNFPA-UNICEF Global Programme to End Child Marriage has been designed as a 15-year programme (2016–2030), following its inception phase in 2014–2015. It promotes the rights of adolescent girls to avert marriage and pregnancy, and enables them to achieve their aspirations through education and alternative pathways. The Global Programme supports households in demonstrating positive attitudes, empowers girls to direct their own futures, and strengthens the services that allow them to do so. It also addresses the underlying conditions that sustain child marriage, advocating for laws and policies that protect girls’ rights while highlighting the importance of using robust data to inform such policies. Phase I (2016–2019) has aimed to strengthen critical institutions and systems in selected locations and countries to deliver quality services and opportunities for a significant number of adolescent girls. It has aimed to lay the foundations of attitudes, behaviours and norms against child marriage among a critical mass of families and communities; Phase II (2020–2023) will accelerate actions to end child marriage by enhancing investments in and support for both unmarried and married adolescent girls; by engaging key actors (including young people as agents of change) in catalysing shifts towards positive gender norms, including the right to choose when and whom to marry; increasing political support, resources, gender-responsive policies and frameworks; engendering respect for laws, including international humanitarian law; and by improving data and evidence on what works. The vision of Phase III (2024–2030) is for adolescent girls, especially the most marginalized, to fully enjoy their childhood free from the risk of child marriage, and experience healthier, safer and more empowered life transitions, including making informed choices about their education, livelihoods, sexuality, relationships, marriage and childbearing. Building on the past eight years of programming, the Global Programme’s Phase III strategy will invest in three mutually reinforcing focus areas that correspond to the three key challenges: prevention, addressing child marriage and supporting adolescent girls already married and married before age 18. Combined, these investments will generate positive social and economic impacts that will benefit adolescent girls and their communities.
