Young Emanzi Toolkit for Mentoring Adolescent Boys and Young Men 

The Young Emanzi toolkit for mentoring adolescent boys and young men is a multicomponent intervention including group-based mentoring and curricula-based programming covering gender, soft skills, financial literacy, puberty and reproductive health, addiction and alcohol abuse, and violence prevention. Several key activities were undertaken to develop the toolkit including a systematic review of mentoring programs for ABYM, participant engagement workshops to engage youth and potential mentors in the design of the toolkit, identify session topics relevant for the boys and a field test of the toolkit in Uganda with mentors and ABYM. An overview of the Toolkit can be found in the flyer here.

The toolkit consists of a Guidance Document and three parts:

  • Part I: Trainers’ Guide and Resources—for use by trainers to prepare mentors to implement the Young Emanzi program. The guide contains the instructions for trainers, training slides, and handouts. The guide is divided into two parts: Part A, Sessions 1–8 and Part B, Sessions 9–16
  • Part II: Mentors’ Handbookcontains detailed instructions for mentors about how to conduct the 16 Young Emanzi sessions and the community celebration, as well as handouts for mentees. The handbook is a resource for mentors to use when they are preparing to lead sessions with mentees. 
  • Part III: Mentors’ Flipbook—contains illustrated pages for mentees and summarizes the instructions for conducting the 16 Young Emanzi sessions. Mentors will use the flipbook as a job aid when conducting sessions. The flipbook has two parts: Part A, Sessions 1–8 and Part B, Sessions 9 –16.
