The four year child marriages’ elimination project dubbed Enabling Girls to Advance Gender Equity (ENGAGE) implemented in Thyolo and Phalombe districts has come to an end with implementers satisfied with results on the ground.
The project was implemented by Girls Empowerment Network (GENET), Youth-Net and Counseling (YONECO), International Centre for Research on Women (ICRW) and Rise Up.
The project’s Consultant Stanley Nyirenda says previously each of the three T/As of Changata and Nchiramwera in Thyolo and T/A Chiwalo of Phalombe where the project was implemented were registering over 200 child marriages annually but now some T/As are registering no child marriage case the whole year.
