Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

New BRACED evaluation papers

Hi everyone,

I thought you might be interested in our latest Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) evaluation reports:

The synthesis report outlines key evidence and findings in response to the central BRACED question (How are projects building resilience to climate extremes and disasters?) and consolidates Implementing Partners’ year 1 project annual reports at the programme level.

Women’s economic empowerment stands out as a key objective of most capacity-building efforts in BRACED. The evaluation found that the participation of vulnerable groups in BRACED activities has increased, but this is only the first step towards inclusive decision-making. 

The reflections paper shares insights, reflections and lessons learnt from designing, implementing and reporting against the BRACED programme’s Monitoring and Evaluation framework.

I hope you find them interesting!

Best,

Emme
