The Time to Act! report was produced with the support of UNFPA APRO and it builds on the previous report Their Time Is Now, providing recent evidence on the prevalence, causes, trends, drivers and impact of child, early and forced marriage (CEFM), and outlines actions that should be taken to prevent and end CEFM in Asia, emphasising the strong commitment needed from stakeholders at multiple levels. The Time to Act! report delves into emerging interventions that have high potential to be successful and effective in preventing, reducing and ending CEFM, and highlights the factors that might lead to success. It also identifies initiatives and innovative approaches that seem most likely to end CEFM if implemented at scale by governments and other relevant stakeholders in Asia and beyond. Extensive document review and interviews with a range of stakeholders were conducted in five focus countries (Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia and Vietnam) to identify promising interventions and key success factors, challenges, opportunities and themes.
