About

This Technical Guidance and Toolkit translates global evidence on gender-responsive social protection into practical action to prevent child marriage. It supports governments and practitioners to design, implement, and scale effective programmes through a step-by-step approach across the programme cycle. With five core tools, it provides diagnostics, design guidance, service linkage strategies, and monitoring frameworks to strengthen systems, reach the most vulnerable girls, and deliver sustainable, large-scale impact.
