Brief Description: This project aims to uncover the pivotal role played by discriminatory social institutions in depriving adolescent girls and young women of the opportunity to achieve their full potential. The project looks at how selected capabilities of these adolescent girls are affected by formal and informal institutions. The goal is to help in improving development outcomes for adolescent girls and young women (with a focus on the poorest and hardest to reach from a policy perspective), breaking inter-generational poverty, and providing a catalyst for change, the returns of which are expected to ripple through wider society. This research is undertaken by Overseas Development Institute (ODI) and funded by DFID. NCCR is a country partner for Nepal for this research.
