Summative Evaluation of Afghan Women's Leadership Initiative (AWLI) Programme in Support of Adolescent Girls
Overview
The Afghan Women’s Initiative in Support of Adolescent Girls (AWLI) programme was initiated in 2016 as a 5-year intervention to enable adolescent girls to fully enjoy their childhood and adolescence free from the risk of marriage.

2 Empower adolescent girls to make informed life choices through education, vocational and life skills training, and peer support networks; and
3 Map and document the status of adolescent girls in Afghanistan.

In regard to learning, the evaluation results are expected to deliver evidence on t
