Huffington Post: Child Marriage Won’t End Until We Start Documenting What Actually Works: Advocates
Agnes Odhiambo, senior women’s rights researcher at Human Rights Watch

“…Part of the problem [regarding child marriage] has been a lack of documentation and evaluation of existing programs to end child marriage, so there is little information available on what approaches work, and in what contexts. Governments and donors need to shift the way they work, by supporting the systematic monitoring and evaluation of such programs. That way, they can channel their investments to efforts that bring about real change, and actually end child marriage within a generation. Without this smart and comprehensive approach, by both national governments and international donors, girls, women, and communities will continue to suffer unnecessarily from the impact of child, early, and forced marriage” (8/3).
