Love, Sexual Rights and Young People: Learning from our peer educators how to be a youth centred programme

This paper examines the findings of an external assessment of an innovative IPPF youth-led programme funded by Danida.2 The programme was implemented by IPPF’s Member Associations in 16 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia and Central America. Its overriding goal was to increase access to sexual and reproductive health services and comprehensive sexuality education for young people, and to promote their sexual and reproductive health and rights. This paper, guided by the unique insights of young people themselves, contributes to shared learning on how best to implement a youth-centred approach across IPPF and beyond.
