E&R Study # 12 Mobilizing Married Youth in Nepal to Improve Reproductive Health: The Reproductive Health for Married Adolescent Couples Project, Nepal 2005-2007
The ACQUIRE Project, in association with CARE Nepal, implemented a two-year pilot project in 2005—the Reproductive Health for Married Adolescent Couples Project (RHMACP)—within the Parsa and Dhanusha districts of Nepal. The project utilized an ecological model to improve health outcomes for married adolescents in target districts. In close collaboration with District Public Health Offices, the RHMACP established a peer education network to disseminate reproductive health information to married couples; supported local health facilities to provide youth-friendly services; and fostered an enabling environment among parents, in-laws, and influential community members to increase married adolescents' access to, and use of, health services.
