The Gender Roles, Equality, and Transformations (GREAT) Project aims to develop and test a package of evidence-based, scalable, life-stage tailored interventions to transform gender norms, reduce gender-based violence (GBV), and promote gender-equitable attitudes and sexual and reproductive health (SRH) among adolescents ages 10-19 in post-conflict communities in northern Uganda. The interventions, which are based on the ecological model with a gender relational perspective, are simple, low cost, compatible with community norms and values, and designed to be taken to scale.

GREAT led to significant improvements in attitudes and behaviors among exposed individuals. Adolescents and adults who heard the radio program or participated in reflection activities reported positive changes in gender equality, partner communication, FP use and attitudes towards GBV. The greater change observed among males and NM/NPs across all outcomes points to the opportunities for norm change around key life transitions of marriage and parenting as well as considerations of power underlying male access to interventions and media sources.
