Pathfinder International is pleased to announce the publication of Improving
Female Recruitment, Participation, and Retention Among Peer Educators in the
Geração BIZ Program in Mozambique.  In response to the under-representation
of female peer educators in the Geração BIZ Program (GBP), an adolescent
sexual and reproductive health program in Mozambique, an operational
research study was used to test new strategies for improving recruitment,
participation, and retention of female peer educators. The study tested an
intervention model to increase the involvement and performance of girls in
the GBP. The study started with the hypothesis that a protocol addressing
young women's needs for comfort and security, skills acquisition, support,
and mentoring would improve their recruitment, retention, and effective
performance in the program. The implementation plan involves four
interrelated phases, using qualitative and quantitative data.  This report
presents results of all four phases.
