LINEA intervention development process

Between 2015-2020 the Learning Initiative on Norms, Exploitation and Abuse (LINEA) co-developed a multi-component social norms intervention to prevent age-disparate transactional sex between adolescent girls 13-15 years-old and men at least 10 years older in Tanzania. The intervention was developed in collaboration with three research and implementing partners in Tanzania: The National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR), Amani Girls Home (AGH) and Media for Development International (MFDI) Tanzania. Building on the LINEA formative research described in Evidence Brief 1: Systematic review of social norms linked to the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents, and Evidence Brief 2: Attitudes, beliefs and normative influences linked to transactional sex: Insights from LINEA formative research in Brazil, Tanzania and Uganda, this brief (Evidence Brief 3) describes the key LINEA intervention components and learnings from co-developing this intervention.
