Advocacy for Universal Access for Youth

One of the most highly leveraged ways we can achieve a sustainable global population and empower young people is through advocating for youth in the developing world to have access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health information and services.

To achieve the goal of universal access, we provide support for:

    • Organizations that most effectively advocate for comprehensive sexual and reproductive health funding, policies and programs for youth around the world, and
    • Targeted efforts to train and support young leaders who can advocate effectively for comprehensive sexual and reproductive health programs and policies for young people around the world.

All of our advocacy grantees must be able to articulate clearly and specifically how their work will move the world closer toward the goal of universal access by young people.

With Summit support, the World Health Organization has identified a set of 16 key indicators to measure access to health services for young people for preventing HIV and improving sexual and reproductive health. These measures are helping us to track global progress toward the goal of universal access. It is our hope that they will be useful to others working in this area as well.
