The research aims to refine and evaluate Girls Invest, a newly developed economic empowerment intervention, to reduce economic and social risks associated with high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) among adolescent girls in Ibadan, Nigeria. Girls Invest, initially developed and tested in the US, has been adapted for use in Nigeria via Phase I Wellspring support. Girls Invest participants complete gender equity and financial skills training modules via a mobile "app." Upon completion, each participant receives a financial resource of supporting girls' education/vocation (e.g., sewing machine, baking oven and pans, or funds to cover educational exams).
