Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Specifically, the trial has four goals:
1. To evaluate the impact of Act With Her in Ethiopia (AWH-E) - a gender-transformative multi-level program - on young adolescent girls' and boys' capabilities (11-13) in the short- and long-run across the six GAGE capability domains using a multi-arm cluster randomized control trial across two regions (Amhara and Oromia).
2. To compare the impact of AWH-E to a more basic gender-synchronized program (AWH-E without community engagement and systems strengthening), a standalone girls' group program (Her Spaces), and the gender-transformative program with economic support (AWH-E + Asset Transfers) on young adolescent capability achievements and transitions in the short- and longer- terms across two regions (Amhara and Oromia).
3. To evaluate the impact of AWH-E on young adolescent capability achievements and transitions in the short- and long- term in pastoralist contexts (Afar).
4. To use mixed-methods research to understand the mechanisms driving the impact, and in particular what works, for whom, and why.

Control
Business as usual, no intervention
No interventions assigned to this group
Her Spaces
Starts in year 1; intervention package with 11-13 year old girls for 10 months; standard parental and community engagement. All programming ends after 10 months.
Her Spaces
Her Spaces will comprise a set of activities leveraging the Her Spaces curriculum and program model which includes curriculum-based sessions for 11-13 year old girls, with 40 sessions delivered weekly over the course of 10 months
Act With Her
Starts in year 1; core intervention package with 10-13 year old girls and boys for 10 months; 6 dedicated sessions with parents; and community-level system strengthening up to 24 months.
Act With Her
Act With Her was designed to facilitate adolescent transitions to adulthood via improvements across the six GAGE domains (education, bodily integrity, health, psychosocial well-being, voice and agency, and economic empowerment). Project activities fall into three main categories: curriculum-based programming with adolescent girls and boys, community transformation, and systems strengthening. Act With Her will work with 10-13 year old girls and boys for 10 months and implement community-level and high-level system strengthening work up to 24 months (in rural and pastoralist areas).
Act With Her + Asset Transfer
Starts in year 1; core intervention package with 10-13 year old girls and boys for 10 months; asset transfer for girls over 10 months; 6 dedicated sessions with parents; and community-level system strengthening up to 24 months.
Act With Her + Asset Transfer
This arm will implement the Act With Her program described above, using program curricula with 10-13-year-old girls and boys over 10 months and conducting community-level systems strengthening up to 24 months. Additionally, the girls participating in this arm will receive one of three asset transfer options. The packages will be of equal value (115 USD) - one will include school supplies, one will include hygiene supplies, and will be a combination of both. Each adolescent girl will choose which package she would like to receive and will receive components of the package at 3 timepoints over the course of the first 10 months of the project.
Act With Her (simple)
Starts in year 1; core intervention package with 10-13 year old girls and boys for 10 months; 6 dedicated sessions with parents; does not include community-level systems strengthening. All programming ends after 10 months.
Act With Her (simple)
This arm will implement the Act With Her curricula described above with 10-13 year old girls and boys over 10 months. The adolescent groups will follow the same model (near-peer, same-sex mentors, 40 weekly meetings for girls, 18 meetings for boys, 4 of which are joint sessions for boys and girls, 6 sessions for parents), but will not include community-level systems strengthening activities
