This report highlights key findings from the national assessment of adolescent pregnancy in Zimbabwe. The study was conducted to determine adolescent pregnancy prevalence in Zimbabwe and identify root causes leading to adolescent pregnancy, particularly in the wake of Covid-19. One of the objectives of the study was to develop detailed profiles of a cohort of adolescents who experienced pregnancy before the age of 20 to provide a deeper understanding of their experiences and needs and map the much-needed support to tackle adolescent pregnancy and support adolescents who fall pregnant.
