Global Acceleration of Actions to Promote Adolescent promoting adolescent health (AA-HA! Guide)
For years, health issues of particular concern to adolescents have been poorly understood and, in some cases, overlooked, but now the situation has changed. Adolescent health and development is an integral part of the Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (2016-2030) (the ‘global strategy’) because, in the words of the UN Secretary-General, “[adolescents] are central to everything we want to achieve and to the overall success of the 2030 Agenda. Why “central”? Because investing in adolescent health yields a triple dividend of benefits: for adolescents now, for their future adult lives and for the generation to come. Their health and well-being are drivers of change in the drive to build healthier and more sustainable societies.
