The Great Project
The Great Project
GREAT is a set of participatory activities to engage adolescents and adults in discussion and reflection about how to help girls and boys grow into healthy adults who live in communities free of violence and gender inequality.
GREAT activities encourage equality between women and men and include:
1) Community Action Cycle: simple steps to bring
communities together to take action to improve
adolescent well-being;
2) Radio Drama: a serial
drama with stories and songs about young people
and their families living in Northern Uganda;
3)Village Health Team (VHT) Service Linkages:
orientation to help VHTs offer adolescent-friendly
services
4) Toolkit for community groups and
school-based clubs: engaging stories and lively
activities and games.
Beginning in August 2012, the Institute for Reproductive Health at Georgetown University, Pathfinder International and Save the Children pilot tested GREAT for 22 months in Lira and Amuru districts in partnership with Concerned Parents Association and Straight Talk Foundation. Since then, more than 260 community groups and school-based clubs used the GREAT toolkit, and activities reached over 100,000 people.
