| Summary: | This paper presents findings from a
community-based study testing the effectiveness of
participatory approaches in improving services and outcomes
for youth reproductive health in Nepal. The study was
motivated by the desire to test the impact of participatory
approaches in improving youth reproductive health. Nepal was
chosen because it is a country where youth reproductive
health needs are especially acute and little is being done
to meet them. In this study, the authors test whether many
of the key principles advocated by development practitioners
for making services work for poor people can be effectively
operationalized through small, community-based programmatic
interventions. In particular, the study seeks to establish
whether participatory intervention programs can increase
empowerment of poor and disadvantaged populations and
accountability to them. |
