does so by supporting in-school and out-of-school adolescent girls living in
Kampala through several key channels: empowering adolescent girls through
a network of Peer Mentors that provide personalized individual and group
mentoring; engaging girls through education, training and referrals to support
services; and enabling them to pursue better opportunities for their future
through a small cash transfer provided via a designated caregiver. The programme aims to ensure the greater inclusion and protection of adolescent

The first pillar is the mentoring module, provided through a network of Peer Mentors (one
mentor supports approximately five girls), overseen by Lead Mentors (each one oversees
approximately ten Peer Mentors). Under the mentor module pillar, the adolescent girls interact
with their Peer Mentor during one-on-one mentor sessions, digital contact moments and group
mentor sessions. Through the mentoring pillar, a mentoring relationship is established and
maintained.
The second pillar is the referral to services, which aims to link the girls to support from external
sources and to inform them of services at health facilities, schools, civil society organisations,
and similar and to encourage the uptake of those services. This is a critical pillar as it ensures
linkages into existing systems scaffolding and generates feedback loops into government
systems, and also because adolescent girls are both less likely to be aware of services
available to them and also to take up those critical services.
The third pillar is the cash transfer, which aims to support programme participation, the uptake
of services (including education), and otherwise enable positive outcomes for the long-term
future of the girl. The cash is transferred via mobile money to the selected primary caregiver of
the girls in three disbursements per year, which are aligned with the school year and its
trimesters
