Abstract

The Girl Roster tool—developed by the Population Council in collaboration with other organizations—is a user-friendly, efficient way to collect program-relevant information about girls in a community using a mobile phone-based questionnaire (or paper and pencil). It enables users to see a full view of girls’ lived realities in defined program areas, comprising walkable communities. Within those boundaries, the identified girls are sorted into meaningful segments by age; school-going, marital, and childbearing status; and living arrangements (living with two, one, or neither parents/guardian). The results are quickly generated into displays of information in a variety of output tables designed for practitioners to make topline assessments of when and to what degree segments of girls are at risk.

The process of implementing the tool, and the information it yields, reveals which populations are “on-” or “off-track,” and enables the design of locally relevant programs for girls—especially the most socially and economically marginalized ones in the community. The Girl Roster has been used by approximately 100 organizations in more than 35 countries, and translated into more than 15 languages.

This video is part of Step 2 in the Girl Roster Workflow.
