Mi plan de Vida Nicaragua SUMMARY 
Mi Plan de Vida started July 2016 and is implemented by Plan International Nicaragua and its local partners  in three regions: Chinandega, Chontales and RACCN. The goal  is to reduce teenage pregnancy through improving Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights services and  awareness amongst adolescent girls and boys, their parents and community members through various activities and result areas. 
Adolescent girls and boys are 1. Informed about their SRHR rights and are able to take informed decisions. 2. Have alternatives to early relationships and teenage pregnancy through economic empowerment. 3. Parents and community leaders are informed and trained on more  support to youth to help them with an alternative life plan. 4. Improved access to quality adolescent SRHR services by training health workers and institutional capacity building of health services and 5. Lobby towards the responsible government departments for better services. The incidence of early relationships and teenage pregnancies in Nicaragua is amongst the highest in the region. Amongs  the causes for this high incidence are the deeply rooted social norms including a masculinity culture, high incidence of gender based violence, gender inequalities and poor ASRHR information and service provision. The overall objective of the project Mi Plan de Vida is to prevent teenage pregnancies, through various activities and result areas:
 1. Adolescent girls and boys are informed about their SRHR rights and are able to take informed decisions regarding their SRHR. Groups of girls and boys are organized and trained through the Champions of Change method to become aware of their SRHR rights, to be enabled to form networks to engage with their community members on social norms esp masculinity norms and practices including gender based violence. 2. Adolescent girls and boys have alternatives to early relationships and teenage pregnancy through economic empowerment. Activities include vocational training and business skills training. 3. Parents and community leaders are informed and trained on having more positive and supportive relationships with the younger generation and support them to have an alternative life plan 4. Improved access to quality adolescent SRHR services by training health workers and institutional capacity building of health services and 5. Evidence based advocacy towards the responsible government departments. This program partly builds on the experience of Plan Nicaragua as part of the Girl Power Alliance. The Girl Power program was implemented between 2011 and 2015 and was focused on prevention and response to Gender Based Violence especially against adolesent girls (and boys). Mi Plan de Vida is more focused on prevention of early relationships and teenage pregnancy and is implemented in three regions including two of the former Girl Power program implementing regions, Chontales and RACCN.  Mi Plan de Vida builds on the networks and achievements of Girl Power program. On the other hand, Mi Plan de Vida approach is much more from SRHR perspective whereas Girl Power program worked more with the judicial institutions and approach to prevent Gender Based Violence. Target groups are adolescent girls and boys between 13 and 19 years. The sustainability of the results was foreseen by having a highly participative approach, creating Champion of Change networks of adolescent boys and girls which will interact with their communities to change the social/masculinity norms which, among other factors, lead to GBV, early relationships and teenage pregnancies. However, in April 2017 the political situation in Nicaragua changed dramatically which is impacting the implementation of the project activities and the foreseen sustanability negatively. The program focuses on prevention of and response to teenage pregnancy through comunity mobilisation, improving access to education and economic empowerment activities.
