Exploring multisectoral collaboration in implementing comprehensive sexuality education framework at the provincial level in Zambia: a qualitative study

In 2014, the Zambian government introduced the Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) framework, decentralising its implementation from the national to the provincial administration. The provincial structures of the Ministries of Health and Education play an important role in providing technical, policy direction and coordination support. However, little research has focused on the role of CSE collaboration at the provincial level.

This study sought to explore multisectoral collaboration dynamics influencing the implementation of the CSE framework at the provincial level in Zambia.
