Learn more about GAGE!
GAGE is a ten-year (2016 – 2026) mixed-methods longitudinal research and evaluation study. It follows the lives of 20,000 adolescents in six low- and middle-income countries in Africa (Ethiopia), Asia (Bangladesh and Nepal) and the Middle East (Jordan, Lebanon and Palestine). GAGE is generating evidence on what works to enable adolescent girls and boys to emerge from poverty and fast-track global change for young people, their families and communities.:
What is GAGE learning about young people’s experiences in these diverse contexts? Take a look at our summaries, policy briefs and PowerPoints. All our findings focus on adolescent experiences and voices. Read more to find out ‘what works’ for different young people – whether they are living in a pastoralist community in Ethiopia or in a refugee camp in Bangladesh or Jordan, whether they are in school or had to give up their education due to pressures to marry before they reached adulthood or to support their family’s livelihood.
