Youth-led research is the meaningful and central participation of young people in all phases of research. The objective of  youth-led research within the MTBA learning project was to explore and understand the journeys of young girls when experiencing issues of sexuality and early marriage. By focusing on the stories of young girls, interpreted and presented by young people themselves, this research gathered valuable insights into promising pathways of change, drafting relevant recommendations for girl-driven program designs.

This paper highlights recommendations on how the methodology can be used in future trajectories.
