This briefing presents insights and recommendations from an evaluation of the reach, engagement and impact of the two radio programmes produced by ´óÏó´«Ã½ Media Action in Sierra Leone under the Every Adolescent Girl Empowered and Resilient (EAGER) project.

Findings showed that radio can shift attitudes; with regular listeners to the programmes being more likely to agree that girls should be able to choose if and who to marry, that girls and boys are equally deserving of education, and that girls are capable of learning any trade.
