The Joint Programme advocated for high-level political support from ministries of education and health, among others, to establish new commitments to scaling-up access to youth-friendly Sexual and Reproductive Health services, economic empowerment, and quality education (including comprehensive sexuality education) mobilized through advocacy.
For example, the Education Plus initiative, endorsed and co-led by the UNAIDS Secretariat, UNESCO, UNICEF, UNFPA and UN Women has been launched in 13 countries at the end of 2022.
The Joint Programme also worked to strengthen youth leadership and youth-led responses, including engagement in decision making, organizational capacities, monitoring and research, advocacy and service delivery through advocacy and country-level guidance.
