Sampling adolescent girls and boys aged between 10‐19‐year olds, the quantitative survey follows a global total of 18,000 adolescent girls and boys, and their caregivers and explores the effects that programme have on their lives. This is substantiated by in‐depth qualitative and participatory research with adolescents and their peers. Its policy and legal analysis work stream studies the processes of policy change that influence the investment in and effectiveness of adolescent programming.</div><br>Further information, including publications, can be found on the&nbsp;Overseas Development Institute <a href="https://www.gage.odi.org/" target="_blank">GAGE</a> website.&nbsp;<br><br><p><span style="font-style: italic;">Gender and Adolescence: Global Evidence: Bangladesh Chittagong and Sylhet Rapid Virtual Survey, 2021</span>&nbsp;includes a sample of 650 girls and boys aged 11-19.
