Ado Avance Ensemble – a partnership driven by youth

Young people are the present – and the future – of West Africa and Central Africa. They are the majority, yet many – especially adolescent girls – are still unable to make decisions about their own bodies and futures. Too often, this leads to unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortion and girls dropping out of school.

This case study sets out how the Ado Avance Ensemble partnership (2022- 2025), funded by the European Union, supported adolescents (aged 10–19), particularly out-of-school girls, worked to change this reality.
