BRAC
To support BRAC’s goal, the Institute for development (IfD) supports the exploration of the experiences of participants and mentors from the first AIM cohort.
Methodology:
Focus Group Discussions (FGDs): FGDs are with adolescent girls and young women to understand their experiences. These discussions cover various aspects including the AIM enrolment process, engagement and effectiveness of program activities, experience with mentors, sustainability of impact, community perceptions access to resources, livelihood and savings and access to health services.
Semi structured interviews: Semi structured interviews are with mentors, similarly, to understand their experiences, including the opportunities and challenges encountered during the program.
