In 2016, with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation, Population Services International (PSI) launched Adolescents 360 (A360), a 4.5-year program that works directly with young people to develop and deliver interventions that aim to increase demand for, and voluntary uptake of, modern contraception among girls aged 15-19 in Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Tanzania.

This technical brief presents the case of 9ja Girls, A360’s intervention in southern Nigeria, offering lessons for similar ASRH programs seeking to design and implement scalable, sustainable, community-based programming with and for adolescents.
