| Summary: | In an effort to integrate operational
and analytical work on adolescents and youth sexual and
reproductive health (SRH) and Human Rights in Nicaragua, the
World Bank, in coordination with the Nicaraguan Ministry of
Health, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), and the
United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) conducted the study
titled: sexual and reproductive health among youth in Latin
America: adding a human rights perspective. The study was
conducted within the umbrella of the ongoing Family
Community Health World Bank project. To gain a better
understanding of the SRH and Human Rights in the country,
the study, funded by the Nordic Development Trust Fund
(NTF), reviewed the national legal framework and the school
curricula; consulted focus groups for adolescents from
representative samples in four geographic regions; and
integrated the results of the study into a national
multi-sectoral strategy on adolescents sexual and
reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The strategy will
inform the Bank s operational plans and agreements for the
next five years. |
