Le projet contribue à l’autonomisation des adolescentes au Bénin et au Cameroun. Il leur permettra d'accéder à des services améliorés et adaptés aux adolescents dans les domaines de l'éducation, de la santé et des droits sexuels et reproductifs et de l'autonomisation économique en créant un ensemble intégré d'interventions de base au niveau de la communauté pour les adolescents.
