Objective
The study explored how a household-level income-generating agricultural intervention known as Shamba Maisha (SM) may affect sexual behavior, psychological wellbeing, and the use of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and HIV services among AGYW aged 15 to 21 years. The long-term goal was to obtain crucial information needed for the adoption, adaptation, and scale-up of the SM intervention for AGYW.
