Leveraging large scale sectoral programmes to prevent child marriage

This case studies compendium describes and analyses the mechanisms through which large scale sectoral interventions have contributed to the prevention of child marriage in three settings: in Ethiopia and in the states of West Bengal and Bihar in India. The case studies highlight the successes and challenges of the approaches taken in each context and identify practical ways to embed efforts to end child marriage within existing programming in the areas of education, social protection, economic opportunities, poverty reduction and sexual and reproductive health.
