Improving Implementation

The Passages Project contributed to improving the implementation of norms-shifting approaches and interventions. Our contributions in this area included reflections on defining norms-shifting interventions and articulating how they are designed, implemented, and monitored. We examined ethical considerations around implementing norms-shifting interventions related to entering and working with communities and mitigating and responding to backlash or pushback.

Our contributions spanned from project-based resources, such as intervention implementation guidelines, to cross-cutting resources on concepts including monitoring, adaptive management, working with very young adolescents, and bringing ethical thinking to norms-shifting programs.
