Madagascar

This paper presents results from an RCT in 140 schools in Madagascar that targets both hygiene practices and menstrual stigma.

The purpose of this study was to understand the extent to which Projet Jeune Leader's (PJL) holistic, school-based comprehensive sexuality education program influenced the lives and behaviors of participants.

This brief describes the participatory research process we employed with educational authorities in Madagascar to understand their priorities and values - important feedback to build public support for and scale comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) in the public education system in Madagascar.

This brief describes the design and content of Projet Jeune Leader’s multifaceted, pre-service training program - one strategy out of a package of strategies we used and tested - to develop well-equipped, willing, and skilled educators for comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) in Madagascar.

In Madagascar and many other contexts, decisions made at the higher level about family planning (FP) and reproductive health (RH) are often disconnected from knowledge and experience held at the local level – particularly when it comes to issues affecting youth.

La corruption sexuelle demeure prévalente en milieu scolaire et universitaire à Madagascar. En 2021, Transparency International - Initiative Madagascar (TI-MG) a réalisé une enquête sur l’état des lieux dans les Régions Analamanga, Diana et Atsinanana.

In addition to recurring political instability problems and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Madagascar is undergoing a severe episode of famine estimated to affect half a million children under 5, which compounds issues of malnutrition already widespread in the country.

Projet Jeune Leader developed “CSE We Can Count On,” a publication sharing strategies and practical tools for how to build and harness community support for in-school comprehensive sexuality education. The core publication is supplemented by a library of practical resources.

The specific purpose of the research study is to generate evidence on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted adolescents’ and young people’s access to and realization of their SRHR.
