This toolkit provides guidance for conducting a context analysis to understand the practice of child marriage and the capacity of the humanitarian actors to respond to it. The key purpose of conducting a context analysis on child marriage is to inform existing programming and service delivery, as well as to define future prevention and response work, grounded in the operational reality.

The findings can also be used to inform advocacy strategies to ensure appropriate prioritisation among actors and donors. The toolkit is grounded on four Guiding Principles – Intersectionality, Girl-Responsiveness, Do No Harm, and the Socio-Ecological Model. These principles inform the way we approach the context analysis and how we interact with the data.
