Project Summary

This team used systems analysis on the structural barriers to the reduction of teenage motherhood across Peru. Two of their key insights were: 1) Many complex factors contribute to high incidence of adolescent pregnancy, it is unlikely that
Peru will see significant changes without significant systemic overhaul starting with strategic partnerships and communication across different sectors. 2) The Peruvian government has yet to fully identify this issue as a crisis, members from
grassroots to government must identify adolescent pregnancy as a crisis calling for immediate action.
