Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact of a safe-space based life skills training program and a combination of life skills and digital literacy training programs on adolescent girls’ empowerment, education, economic, and reproductive health outcomes. The interventions form two sub-components of the Adolescent Girls’ Initiative for Learning and Empowerment project. The sample covered randomly selected secondary school girls between the ages of 17 and 22 in rural and semi-urban schools that were eligible for the safe space-based life skills and digital skills trainings. The midline data was collected through face-to-face interviews with 8.191 adolescents and 269 school principals across Kaduna, Kano and Katsina States. Interviews were attempted with all 8,223 adolescents girls interviewed at baseline in 2023. The field data collection occurred simultaneously across the three States and lasted between February and March, 2025. Enumerators collected data with tablets containing programmed questionnaires on SurveyCTO platform.
