Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators will conduct a cluster randomized controlled trial in secondary schools in Nigeria to evaluate the impact of school-based life skills training delivered in safe spaces with and without digital literacy training. This study aims to estimate the causal impacts of the training on adolescents' school performances and retention, socio-emotional skills, digital skills, health, marriage, fertility, and labor market outcomes.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will evaluate the impact of a safe-space based life skills training program as well as a combination of life skills and digital literacy training programs on adolescent girls' empowerment, education, economic and sexual and reproductive health outcomes. The interventions form two sub-components of the Adolescent Girls' Initiative for Learning and Empowerment project. The interventions will be delivered to secondary school girls in Northern Nigeria. The study will be conducted in the Kaduna, Katsina and Kano states of Nigeria. The study has a randomized controlled trial research design where schools are randomly allocated to three groups. Girls in schools assigned to the first treatment group will receive the safe-space based life skills training program. Schools allocated to the second treatment group will deliver a digital literacy training program along with a safe-space based life skills training program. The third group of schools will receive neither training program until the completion of the study. Girls between the age of 15 - 20 form the target group of the study. The study will evaluate the impact of (i) a safe space-based life skills training program on adolescent girls' empowerment, education, economic and sexual and reproductive health outcomes; and (ii) a combination of a safe-space based life skills and digital literacy training programs on adolescent girls' empowerment, education, economic and sexual and reproductive health outcomes. A total of 8,463 girls are drawn from 273 schools in the three states. The study will conduct baseline, midline and endline surveys by interviewing the girls and their respective caregivers. The baseline survey is conducted before the intervention roll-out. The midline survey will be conducted six months after intervention completion, while the endline survey will be conducted two years after the completion of the intervention. ;
