With the two year pilot now completed and a three year ‘scale-up and sustainability plan’ set to be implemented across Nigeria, this short report is designed to aid in the documentation and distribution of these lessons. It is intended that the experiences and processes highlighted here will be of interest not only to the programme’s current stakeholders, but to organisations interested in implementing similar projects elsewhere. In the short term, for example, the LaL concept has been identified as a potentially powerful tool for addressing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues in Mexico and Senegal. Feasibility studies, funded by the MacArthur Foundation and Oxfam Novib, are due to commence in these countries in 2009. From an organisational perspective, this report will go some way to ensuring that the knowledge gained during the implementation of the LaL pilot is captured and integrated into the future work of OneWorld UK, Butterfly Works and our international and Nigerian partners. The report begins with an overview of the need for sexual and reproductive health problems that undermine the lives of millions of young Nigerians each year, and the innovative educational response which Learning about Living provides building on the work of existing civil society organisations and government – exploring the origins and development of the concept, the formation of a partnership with the key partners, the design of the initial proposal and implementation over two years. The ‘Risk Management’ section identifies some of the key risks that impacted the project, as well as detailing the most effective solutions used to overcome them. The results of the pilot (almost 9,000 young people reached in schools, more than 60,000 questions received via the mobile service, and 308 teachers trained) are then analysed, revealing an additional impact of more than 10 percent compared to FLHE in some cases. Finally, the initial scale up and sustainability plans are laid out for the future. It is our hope that you find the report of interest and that the lessons we have learnt over the last two years in Nigeria can be built upon by others.
