Living in a world free from child marriage
Programme brief
Plan International’s model for ending child, early, forced marriage and unions (CEFMU).
Plan International has consolidated over two decades of experience, research and learning across Africa, Asia and Latin America into a single, coherent global framework to prevent and respond to child marriage. The CEFMU Programme Model is a unified, gender-transformative approach for prevention and response at scale.
This model builds on flagship regional initiatives, translating proven approaches from the 18+ programme in Southern Africa, the Time to Act initiative in Asia Pacific, MUITF in the Americas and regional programming in West Africa into a coherent global framework.
Our goal is to achieve a world in which girls and young women live free from child marriage and its consequences. Where girls and young women are protected and able to make decisions about their education, employment and sexual and reproductive health and rights.
