Description

USAID proposes actions to address child marriage and unions:

  • Cultivate partnerships locally;
  • Mobilize communities to shift norms that perpetuate child marriage; and
  • Address the unique needs of married children in programs.

USAID will focus its efforts on prevalence rates; disaster, instability, or political change that adversely affects women and girls; and investments by other stakeholders.
