Inclusion Criteria

For intervention:
All districts will be eligible for randomization to receive the intervention. In each intervention district, all residents aged 15 and above will be eligible. Different intervention activities will address different groups of the population, who will be free to decide whether to take up the offer:
1. Economic empowerment including skills workshop and government structural support offered to women aged 18-24, especially those not in school or employment.
2. Audio-drama discussion groups will be offered to all ages and both sexes
3. Concerting of service provision will include discussions with all local service-providers (all eligible)

For impact surveys: Young women and young men aged 15-29 years in 10 clusters (random selection of enumeration areas from the recent census) in each of five intervention and five non-intervention districts.

Exclusion Criteria

For intervention: No district will be excluded. Within each intervention district, people not resident in the district will be excluded to minimize contamination (by people in other districts hearing of the interventions and wishing to take advantage of them, thus diluting the measured impact).

For impact surveys: Field workers will not interview or take blood samples from anyone they judge to be unable to give informed consent or to understand the survey questions.
