Training on Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) Policy: Designing Inclusive Youth-Responsive Programs
Course Overview
What is ASRH Policy and Youth-Responsive Programming?
Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) policy focuses on frameworks, strategies, and interventions that address the unique health needs of adolescents. Youth-responsive programming ensures services are accessible, inclusive, rights-based, and tailored to the realities of young people, including marginalized and vulnerable groups.
Many ASRH programs fail to effectively reach adolescents due to stigma, restrictive policies, lack of youth engagement, and inadequate service design. This results in high rates of teenage pregnancy, unsafe abortions, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and unmet reproductive health needs—particularly among marginalized populations.
This course equips policymakers, program designers, and health professionals with tools to develop inclusive, evidence-based ASRH policies and programs. It emphasizes youth participation, equity, gender responsiveness, and data-driven decision-making to improve access and outcomes.

• ASRH policy frameworks and global standards
• Youth-responsive and rights-based programming
• Gender, equity, and inclusion in ASRH
• Adolescent engagement and co-creation
• Service delivery models for youth-friendly services
• Addressing stigma, cultural barriers, and access gaps
• Monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) in ASRH
• Policy advocacy and multi-sector coordination
Participants will apply skills to:
• Design and implement youth-friendly health services
• Develop inclusive ASRH policies at national and local levels
• Increase adolescent access to reproductive health services
• Address gender and social barriers in healthcare delivery

By the end of the course, participants will be able to design and implement inclusive ASRH policies and programs that improve adolescent health outcomes, increase service uptake, and reduce inequities.
