Introduction: Among people who have ever attended school, higher educational attainment appears to be associated with higher prevalence of HIV.
All children have the right to attend school and be actively engaged in their education without obstacles. Child-friendly environments are necessary for all children to thrive while at school.
Costa Rica’s School Child and Adolescent Food and Nutrition Programme (PANEA) is an example of a consolidated school feeding programme mostly funded by the central government and managed at school level by School Education Boards.
Today, Bolivia offers an example of a highly decentralised approach to school feeding as there is not yet a national program.
This paper updates WFP’s 2009 school feeding policy four years after its approval. It clarifies WFP’s new approach of supporting government-led programmes, and outlines innovations.
This resource guide serves as a tool for implementers and advocates in the WASH and education nexus to pursue and promote integrated programming. It contains summaries of manuals and reports, mapping resources, and a list of organizations working on WASH in Schools.
This paper presents the results from a randomized evaluation that distributed menstrual cups (menstrual sanitary products) to adolescent girls in rural Nepal.
This programming guidance is meant to inform programmes that aim to reduce HIV infection among adolescent girls and young women in countries and locations where HIV incidence is high among adolescent girls and young women and where HIV is primarily spread through heterosexual transmission.
The tool is structured into four modules. Each module offers practical and concrete aids, such as checklists, examples and tables.
Teenage pregnancy is an issue of inequality affecting the health, well-being, and life chances of young women, young men, and their children. Consequently, high levels of teenage pregnancy are of concern to an increasing number of developing and developed countries.
