Preventing sexual exploitation of adolescent girls in age disparate transactional sex in Tanzania

From June through August 2018, the Learning Initiative on Norms Exploitation and Abuse (LINEA), with partner organisation Amani Girls Home, feasibility tested 12 new curriculum sessions and 15 original radio drama scenes for transforming social norms underpinning transactional sex between adult men and young adolescent girls in north-western Tanzania. Using qualitative methods, the joint study investigated the community acceptability, contextual and cultural relevance, as well as implementation feasibility, of the curriculum and radio drama.
During the webinar, the presenter discussed:
- Intervention development process: How social norms and gender theories, and qualitative formative research, informed the intervention theory of change, and curriculum and radio drama co-design;
- Methods and findings: How qualitative methods contributed to the feasibility study and refinement of the intervention components;
- Pilot trial planning: How feasibility study results inform full intervention pilot trial planning and evaluation protocol development.
