The 2022-2030 National Youth Friendly Health Services Strategy follows the expiry of the 2015–2020 Strategy which was being implemented for the past five years. The revised strategy largely presents an amplified version of the strategic focus areas that comprehensively accord young people in Malawi an opportunity to address the many challenges facing their health in general and in particular, sexual and reproductive health. This strategy presents a set of methods and processes which are built on the successes the Youth Friendly Health Services (YFHS) programme has so far recorded in this country. It also addresses various challenges that were faced during implementation of the first strategy and capitalizes on existing opportunities to ensure young people have un-impeded access to health services and in particular, the sexual and reproductive health services based on a variety of needs as young people progress in their growth and development continuum.
