A360’s Kuwa Mjanja (Be Smart) is an innovative program that delivers life skills and contraceptive counseling sessions—tailored to and branded for the unique needs of the girls served. It’s a girl-powered call to action that seeks to reframe the narrative about girls, and contraception. This technical brief analyzes A360’s strategy and lessons learned to date, presenting a case study of the A360 experience in Tanzania, and offers considerations for how a girl-centered approach to contraception can address gaps in adolescent sexual and reproductive health in future settings.
