Abstract

It highlights the challenges of adolescent pregnancy, which is prevalent in these counties, and its impact on maternal and infant morbidity, mortality, and socio-economic development. The brief summarizes the findings of a participatory learning journey undertaken by USAID Nawiri, which aimed to understand the complex factors influencing adolescent pregnancy and childbearing in these counties. The journey involved a desk review, stakeholder mapping, and insight gathering among adolescents and their parents/guardians, leading to the identification of potential solutions to address the drivers of early pregnancy and support sustainable reductions in undernutrition.
