“…Given the emphasis on rights in our stakeholder survey results, consultative events and recent calls for a larger emphasis on rights in programming (Berglas et al 2014), this lack of explicit evaluation of rights-focused programming is an important evidence gap.…”

The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) is an international grant-making nongovernmental organisation promoting evidence-informed development policies and programmes. We are the global leader in funding and producing high-quality evidence of what works, for whom, why and at what cost. We believe that better and policy-relevant evidence will help make development more effective and improve people's lives. 3ie scoping papers 3ie develops its thematic grant programmes in a particular development area or sector through an organised scoping process. This multifaceted exercise helps ensure that new windows address priorities for evidence production where evidence is limited and gaps have been identified. 3ie scopes the demand for evidence through consultation with potential users, including policymakers, programme managers, researchers and civil society. Scoping exercises usually include producing an evidence map of interventions and outcomes of included studies and reviews. This aids identification of where more or better evidence is needed and where evidence is sufficient for producing systematic reviews. Other scoping can include reviewing existing programming and funding. The results include priority questions for which there is demand for answers. Scoping papers consolidate this information into a justification for what a thematic grant programme will address. About this paper3ie conducted scoping work on adolescent sexual and reproductive health to assess evidence on the effectiveness of related programmes in low-and middle-income countries, and to identify priorities for funding new 3ie impact evaluations and systematic reviews in this area. An evidence gap map is reported in this paper, and is also available in the 3ie Evidence Gap Map Report series, Adolescent sexual and reproductive health: an evidence gap map. An interactive version of the map is available on the 3ie website.

“…However, although online resources create an array of opportunities for targeting youth, the limits to these platforms must be problematised and contextualised (Guse et al 2012). Berglas et al (2014) point out, for instance, that digital platforms have reduced opportunities for young people's critical thinking and reflection processes, thus undermining their ability to strategise and come up with solutions when faced with SRHR issues. This suggests that digital platforms have to be delivered in conjunction with other forms of support and services in order to result in behaviour change.…”

“…Due to its digital nature, #ChauTabú faces the inherent limitations that Berglas et al (2014) point out for this type of platform, as discussed in Section 4. The interactive map on the site fulfils the function of linking this resource with other state public and free services that can deliver further support such as HIV testing, contraceptive dispense and SRHR professional services.…”

A Rights‐Based Approach to Sexuality Education: Conceptualization, Clarification and Challenges

Abstract: While questions remain to be answered regarding the implementation and impact of rights-based sexuality education, the proposed conceptual definition suggests multiple avenues for advocates, researchers, program developers and funders to enhance adolescent sexual health.
