And Yvonne, is there anything you'd like to add?
9:40
Yeah, we've talked about the findings.
9:42
I wanted to just also talk a little bit about, so Zambia, for example, which is close to Malawi.
9:49
In that part of the world, there's a lot of learning from each other.
9:53
So maybe the question might be from Zambia to say, okay, how easy or difficult would it be for Zambia, Tanzania to follow in the footsteps of Malawi or indeed any of the other exemplar countries.

And I have this to say, I think that any country and all of us really, we need to have that will to give adolescents the best possible legacy for their future.
10:24
And when you start thinking like that, you have to think about what are the cultural impediments to adolescents going forward with schooling, etc., Are there customs and norms we have that encourage young girls to get married early or to experiment with sex too early? So we need to shift those cultures.
15:21
And so the role of education or its impact is really multifaceted across health and the economy.
