Preventing early marriage by increasing girls education has shown promise. This cluster randomised trial assessed the effects of a two-year cash plus programme on marriage and fertility in a pastoralist setting in Northeastern Kenya, six years after it began.

This study shows the potential for interventions in early adolescence with an education component to delay marriage and fertility into late adolescence and early adulthood, in a marginalised and socially conservative setting, with low education and high rates of child marriage.
