Project Girls 4 Girls (G4G) intends to help young women and girls find the courage, vision, skills and network to pursue their fullest leadership potential.

The project aims to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescent girls in Tanzania’s Mainland and Zanzibar. Project activities include: (1) increasing awareness and access to quality sexual reproductive health services, including improved family planning services; (2) increasing the knowledge and skills of adolescents, especially girls, to negotiate for sexual and reproductive health rights, and improve the knowledge, attitudes and skills of communities to promote positive gender and social norms; (3) strengthening sexual and gender-based violence preventive and responsive measures; (4) integrating nutrition-focussed services and awareness in sexual and reproductive health services; and (5) building the capacity of government and women- and youth-led organizations to advocate for, develop, and coordinate adolescent sexual reproductive health services. It also increases the knowledge and skills of government staff, health workers, health administrators, teachers, and community leaders in collecting and using data to continually improve the quality of sexual and reproductive health and related services. The project aims to directly reach 394,542 girls and boys through school- and health facility-based interventions, 153,891 community level interventions, and 727,400 boys and girls through media interventions.

Through previous Listen, Hear Our Voices funding the Yukon Native Language Centre (YNLC) was able to set up a state-of-the-art digitization facility, work closely with 11 of 14 Yukon First Nations (YFNs) to identify prioritized audio recordings for digitization, and digitize a total of 825 of the prioritized materials. Although 825 is a massive achievement, it was clear through YNLC communications with YFNs that the YNLC audio recording collection holds far more than 653 prioritized audio recordings (the 11 participating YFNs requested a total of 871 audiocassettes).

The goal of this follow-up project is to continue with the digitization of prioritized audio recordings, as well as expand the YNLC capacity for digitization and intellectually connect existing materials of different formats.
