Summary: Although there has been progress in reducing adolescent maternity and early marriage rates in West and Central Africa, the situation remains challenging. Higher-income countries with better legal protections for young girls consistently perform better on both indicators. Further research is needed to understand the lack of association between adolescent marriage and maternity rates with gender discrimination and social institutions.
