Projet Jeune Leader

Projet Jeune Leader is a youth-founded, women-led organisation in Madagascar. Since 2013, they have been providing gender-transformative Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) to thousands of adolescents aiming to ensure that youth have the knowledge, skills and support needed to thrive during adolescence.  

CSE plays a vital role in transforming harmful gender norms and reducing the risk of violence. CSE programmes have demonstrated their ability to improve knowledge, attitudes, self-efficacy, and behavioural intentions of adolescent students concerning sexual and reproductive health, gender equality and rights, however, there is a lack of robust evidence on the impact of CSE on violence. This What Works funded intervention aims to conduct action-oriented research to understand how CSE can effectively serve as a violence prevention intervention for adolescents.
