Authors: Wendy-Ann Rowe and Carrie Miller
Organization: Catholic Relief Services

This assessment examines three economic strengthening approaches used in Catholic Relief Service’s Out-of-School Adolescents Support Project, funded by UNICEF. Vocational training programs, school farming programs and saving and lending programs were assessed to inform future program designers/managers, donors and policymakers on best-practices for economic strengthening interventions. This assessment also encourages program designers to direct attention to the specific vulnerabilities and needs of adolescent girls.
