Cohen Funded for Two Projects on Delaying Child Marriage in West Africa
Posted: 3/24/2025 ()
CSDE Affiliate Isabelle Cohen will be leading harmonized impact evaluations of two interventions focused on delaying child marriage in West Africa. She will work with the Centre for Girls Education and Economics PhD candidate T.V. Ninan to evaluate the Pathways to Choice model in northern Nigeria, and with CARE and Evans PhD student and CSDE Trainee Jiayuan Wang to evaluate the Re-IMAGINE model in southern Niger. These interventions are designed to mirror each other, subject to contextual adaptations and focus on empowering adolescent girls to return to school through safe spaces-based interventions. Both evaluations are funded by the Gates Foundation.
