AYSRH Program Description

  

FGAE plays a substantial role in advancing the SRH status and wellbeing of underserved and vulnerable young people [from 10 to 24 years of age] through strong partnership and networking with government and other stakeholders. FGAE is also committed in scaling up of innovative approaches such as adolescent & youth-centered SRH program intervention where young people are at the center of project management cycles.

To this effect, FGAE has institutionalized a system ensuring meaningful participation of adolescents and youth including in the governance of the Association, where they have a 20% representation at all levels of the decision making organ of the Association. FGAE also repositioned the AYSRH program, since 2016,whereby all service delivery modalities have integrated AYSRH Program interventions.
