Adolescent Girls’ Programme makes positive impact

The Adolescent Girls’ Programme (AGP) is making a positive impact on girls, with falling teenage pregnancy rates in basic schools in the Central Tongu District, where girls are becoming more assertive in pursuing their studies.

Mafi-Dadoboe At Mafi-Dadoboe, a farming community in Central Tongu, it emerged that parents who were trained in various aspects of the programme had embraced it wholeheartedly and were willingly supporting their children with their basic school needs.

When a joint team from the three funding and implementing agencies toured some of the communities in Central Tongu and Akatsi North districts last Tuesday, the positive results of AGP were readily evident on the ground.
