Africa is home to the largest youth population in the world today: almost 60 percent of the total population are under 25 years old. Achieving sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is a key factor in ensuring young people lead healthy and empowered lives. SRHR, in turn, are an important foundation for gender equality as well as sustainable and equitable development.
Africa has made significant strides in recent decades, yet there is still room for improvement. Based on interviews with youth activists, youth-led organizations and other experts in three focus countries - Nigeria, Zambia and Tanzania - this study highlights the biggest gaps in care and describes solutions to better support young Africans.
This study was funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Sector Initiative Population Dynamics, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights.
