The Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) and its stakeholders developed the first Adolescent and Youth Reproductive Health Strategy in 2006, which has been translated into action for about a decade.

Following the implementation of this strategy the second National Adolescent and Youth Health Strategy was developed in 2016 lasting until 2020/21.

The strategy has a broader view and is comprehensive in that it commits to address Sexual Reproductive Health, Substance Use, Communicable and Non-Communicable Diseases, Nutrition, and Injuries.

The strategy is aligned with the national health policy and global strategy for Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health (2016–2030). Subsequently, a national implementation guideline, minimum service packages and training materials were also developed.

Rationale

The comprehensive National Adolescent and Youth Health Strategy (2016-2020) set ambitious targets to improve health and wellbeing of adolescents and youth.

To achieve these targets, ToT and basic training is being provided at national and regional level by regions and partners.

Despite the training, there is a gap on providing specific health services to adolescents as per the scope of the strategy.

In order to fill this gap, a technical and procedural guide is important to help guide the provision of quality health services to adolescents and youth in a youth friendly approach.

Scope:

To develop a technical and procedural guideline and a summary pocket size handbook that can enable health workers and program managers provide quality health services to adolescents and youth.
