Midterm Review of the Adolescents 360 Program
This midterm review synthesizes evaluation findings from the design phase of A360 and the first few quarters of implementation (Aug 2016 – Sep 2018), drawing together insights from an ongoing process evaluation, a cost-effectiveness analysis, and the baseline findings from an outcome evaluation. Although the review does not determine the effectiveness of the solutions and therefore A360 as a whole, it finds that the value of the A360 approach is starting to emerge, while also highlighting a number of challenges and trade-offs that the consortium continues to navigate. The MTE’s takeaways are useful for evaluators of HCD and adaptive programs (see page 10), and for donors and future ASRH implementers (see page 49).

A360 Emerging Insights for Design
Add To FavouritesA360 Emerging Insights for Design
This deck summarises insights gathered by the A360 team for designing the Smart Start program in Ethiopia. It shares what the design team learned about young girls’ motivations behind SRH-related behaviour and decisions. The deck starts with giving information about the methodology behind insight generation, and then goes into findings about young girls’ behaviour, cultural norms, and traditional contraception messaging. Finally, creators of the deck share themes that they thought were relevant for consideration, and offer recommendations on how the intervention can be designed. This is a good tool to understand how insight generation happens in an HCD process, but may not necessarily be helpful to someone who is unaware of HCD.

Aligning Contraception with Family and Life Goals of Married Adolescent Girls in Northern Nigeria: The Case of Matasa Matan Arewa
Add To FavouritesAligning Contraception with Family and Life Goals of Married Adolescent Girls in Northern Nigeria: The Case of Matasa Matan Arewa
This publication captures the journey of Matasa Matan Arewa, an A360 program implemented in Northern Nigeria. The technical brief walks the reader through how this program was designed and implemented to address SRH needs of Nigerian adolescents and promote contraception uptake in a particular community. It first describes the ASRH landscape in Nigeria to explain the need of this intervention, and then offers a step-by-step account of the HCD process used to generate insights from the community and design interventions that speak to adolescents’ aspirations and needs.

Connecting Contraception to Girls’ Lives and Aspirations in Southern Nigeria: The Case of 9ja Girls
Add To FavouritesConnecting Contraception to Girls’ Lives and Aspirations in Southern Nigeria: The Case of 9ja Girls
Led by PSI and implemented by SFH Nigeria, 9ja Girls works in partnership with A360 young leaders and across Nigeria’s public health facilities to support unmarried girls aged 15-19 to identify their dreams, and then understand the role contraception can play to take them one step closer to achieving their goals. This technical brief presents the case of 9ja Girls, offering lessons for similar ASRH programs seeking to design and implement scalable, sustainable, community-based programming with and for adolescents.

A360’s Learning and Growth since the 2018 Mid-Term Evaluation
Add To FavouritesA360’s Learning and Growth since the 2018 Mid-Term Evaluation
This report presents A360’s reflections from its programs on adolescent contraceptive service delivery in three countries; Ethiopia, Tanzania and Nigeria. These learnings are generated through cross learning across the different contexts, and are focused on the adaptive management of A360’s programs during the first two and a half years of implementation. Furthermore, the report also offers considerations to be taken into account for future implementation of A360’s programs. This is a useful resource for ASRH practitioners who would like to learn more about adaptive management of programs post implementation.

Integrating Human-Centered Design in a Multidisciplinary Effort to Address Provider Bias: A Summary of the Beyond Bias Experience
Add To FavouritesIntegrating Human-Centered Design in a Multidisciplinary Effort to Address Provider Bias: A Summary of the Beyond Bias Experience
With an aim to expand the knowledge base of application of HCD in global health programs, the Beyond Bias project has documented, in a three-part series, its experience using HCD in a multidisciplinary approach to develop effective, scalable adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health interventions. The briefs cover programmatic challenges and opportunities, outline salient ideas and concepts that were generated and tested, share key insights on provider bias, and present the finalized intervention design.
