From 2019 to 2022, the AMA Association partnered with the \"Empowering Adolescent Girls in Central America\" program, an initiative of the Global Child Fund (GFC) in conjunction with the Dubai Cares Foundation. This program aimed to deepen and expand gender equality and promote the rights and opportunities of adolescent girls in Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Through this initiative, leaders and grassroots organizations were supported to strengthen their organizations with innovative programs that empower children and youth. For this, GFC combined flexible financing, technical assistance, access to networks, and program staff support.<\/p>\n

Within this framework, the AMA Association focused its participation on activities that strengthen internal capabilities, empower adolescent girls, and engage in dialogue and advocacy activities involving adolescent girls and decision-makers from government institutions and civil society organizations. These efforts aimed to prevent early pregnancy and sexual violence in the Pet\u00e9n department, Guatemala.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

  1. Three camps named \"Youth Diplomas on the Prevention of Pregnancy and Sexual Violence in Adolescent Girls\" were developed, in which 42 adolescents aged between 13 and 15 years old participated. These adolescents were part of the school governments in six basic education institutes from communities and marginal urban areas of the municipalities of San Luis, Popt\u00fan, Dolores, El Chal, and Santa Ana, in Southern Pet\u00e9n. The purpose of these camps was to provide adolescents with tools about the importance of preventing pregnancies and sexual violence as part of their life plans, as well as to strengthen the leadership skills of the school government members. The camps lasted a day and a half and were facilitated by collaborators from the Adolescent Component of the Pet\u00e9n Sur Oriente Health Area and the AMA Association. They used the inductive-deductive \"learning by doing\" methodology with a content multiplication focus. The participants replicated the content learned in the camps with approximately 1200 adolescent students from the institutes of their communities.<\/li>\n
  2. An Organizational Capacity Self-Assessment (OCA) workshop was conducted, facilitated by an expert in capacity development from GFC. The workshop lasted a day and a half and took place in Popt\u00fan, Pet\u00e9n, with the participation of 15 members of the AMA Association, including collaborators and volunteers from communities and urban marginal areas of San Luis and Popt\u00fan, Pet\u00e9n. This workshop enabled the development of AMA's Organizational Development Plan and revealed that the Association's interventions are largely consensus-driven with volunteers and the executive team, ensuring their successful outcomes. Moreover, it highlighted the importance of having a communication plan to increase the visibility of the Association and its work, as it was determined that many quality activities with results were not widely known.<\/li>\n
  3. With the development of the communication plan, media plan, and restructuring of AMA's website, the organization's institutional capacity area was strengthened. The first element was the Communication Plan, which also included the redesign and update of AMA's website. This activity was developed following the results of the organizational capacity self-assessment, highlighting these aspects as crucial areas to strengthen and serving as a reference for the Organizational Development Plan. The communication and media plan systematically enhanced AMA's visibility to its target population and the international community, creating a platform for external information required by adolescent girls, potential partners, and new donors. Regarding the redesign and update of the AMA Association's website, it was considered necessary to improve the image, contents, accessibility, and interactions for the girls\/adolescents and general users. It has also allowed AMA to have a better image among partners and potential donors, as it is one of the main tools, they use to obtain external information about organizations, thus improving the chances of gaining more allies<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
