Outline India partnered with Milaan Foundation to study to do a process evaluation of the Girl Icon Program.
Outline India conducted a process evaluation of the Girl Icon Program across Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Karnataka, engaging over 300 adolescent girls and their ecosystems through surveys, interviews, and observations. The study found the program effectively builds leadership, confidence, and agency among girls, with Social Action Projects tackling issues like child marriage, menstruation, and school dropouts. Peer Group Meetings emerged as safe spaces for learning and voice. The evaluation also identified operational gaps and recommended greater flexibility in design, stronger community and male engagement, and alumni involvement to sustain impact.
