This initiative brings together policy makers, young people and civil society to strengthen sexuality education and reproductive and sexual health services in eastern and southern Africa. By having adequate access to these services, young people are empowered to make their own decisions about their health, preventing HIV/AIDS and unexpected pregnancies. The initiative receives support from UNAIDS, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNICEF, World Health Organization, GIZ, Ford Foundation, Government of Sweden and SIDA, IPPF, Norad, Church of Sweden, INRELA, Eastern African Community (EAC) and Southern African Development Community (SADC).
