National Adolescent and Youth Health Strategy 2016-2020.

The National Adolescent and Youth Health Strategy 2016-2020 after providing a situation analysis and background information contains a strategic framework that proposes an integrated adolescent and youth health care package that comprises health promotion, preventive and curative interventions across all levels of care.
The Framework is built on a set of key guiding principles. The target conditions identified in the situational assessment and analysis account for the majority of the adolescent and youth mortality and morbidity in Ethiopia, and are the focus for interventions in this Strategic Plan. Outcome targets are identified and include Family Planning/Contraception, Maternity Care, Nutrition and Physical Activity, among others. The Strategic Framework also proposes the following six priority areas for action: increasing access to Adolescent and Youth Health information and age appropriate Comprehensive Sexuality Education and life-skills education; enhancing equitable access to high quality, efficient and effective adolescent and youth-friendly health services; strengthening strategic information and research on adolescents and youth; promoting a supportive and enabling policy environment; supporting and facilitating youth engagement and ownership of health programs; and strengthening inter-sectoral coordination, networking and partnership. Each of these priority areas is accompanied by its respective strategies, performance targets and priority interventions (Table 4).
