Nepal
Beginning in 2020, Breakthrough ACTION developed activities to reduce child, early, and forced marriage in Nepal.
The project has focused on working with the Government of Nepal to build institutional and technical capabilities in designing, implementing, and monitoring effective social and behavior change programs to reinforce child protection systems and engage communities—particularly schools and parents—to promote educational opportunities for girls. Breakthrough ACTION has proved that strengthening government capacity in SBC to understand and address health, economic, and gender norms can succeed at reducing child, early, and forced marriage. The project has engaged partners and community members in social and behavior change approaches, particularly human-centered design, to ensure child, early, and forced marriage-reduction efforts are informed and driven by local stakeholders.
