PK-OGB Making the Most of What We Know Youth Led Study Coordination: In five countries (Pakistan, Mali, Ethiopia, India and Nepal), a youth-led study will be implemented as a youth empowering activity to capture the perspectives of girls and young women on female adolescence and child marriage. At theheart of the youth-led study is the meaningful and central participation of young people in all phases of the study, from the identification of relevant learning questions to engagement with youth peers and reflection to feed into programme implementation. This youth-led study will therefore involve youth explorers, who will be trained and closely guided on exploring the broader challenges faced by young girls (and boys) on issues of adolescence and early marriage, both on their personal fight and on how their experience can best be integrated into programming. This will be done using Oxfam’s youth-led study approach and framework, a 10 week process in which youth explorers will be supported and coached throughout the trajectory by a Youth Led Study Coordinator to ensure that theyare given the tools to reach their full potential as youth explorers, and to ensure a safety mechanism when needed. The Youth-Led Study Coordinator will follow an online course to be trained in the study approach and framework.In five countries (Pakistan, Mali, Ethiopia, India and Nepal), a youth-led study will be implemented as a youth empowering activity to capture the perspectives of girlsand young women on female adolescence and child marriage.
