The ‘Making the Most of What We Know’ is a learning process both within and beyond More Than Brides Alliance that systematically combines research evidence with implementation experience on the topic of the links between female adolescent sexuality and child marriage in order to grow the knowledge base and enhance effectiveness of programming and implementation. During the project, we aim to collect project implementation experiences within the current MTBA program that focus on changing norms around girls’ marriageability and pre-martial pregnancy, a scan of interventions that aim to change sexuality and marriageability norms and in depth interviews with a selected number of implementation experts.

The implementation experiences gathered will be presented and discussed in relation to scientific evidence in national learning events in up to nine countries. Besides connecting implementation experience and scientific evidence, lessons learned from other learning trajectories in the project such as youth-led research and small grants learning & exchange fund can also be presented during these events. All lessons learned will come be brought together in an international learning meeting
