Description:
The project will help lower rates of adolescent pregnancy, and allow girls and young women in Belize and Suriname to realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights. The project will have positive impacts on adolescents and young people across both countries, but will focus on indigenous and tribal adolescent girls and young women in select regions of Belize and Suriname. The project will do this by making clinics more adolescent-friendly and culturally appropriate; increasing access to contraceptives; implementing an out-of-school comprehensive sexuality education curriculum to reach indigenous and tribal adolescents in their communities; creating and using culturally appropriate educational materials; and gathering and using data to help policymakers make informed decisions about advancing adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights, particularly for indigenous and tribal groups.

The project will 1) Increase the use of adolescent-friendly sexual and reproductive health services, including contraceptives; 2) Empower adolescents through quality, comprehensive sexuality education and 3) Strengthen the promotion and protection of sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescents by national partners, governments and key stakeholders.
