Scaling up Adolescent Health Services Through Family Health Days (UNICEF)

Overview

The goal of this UNICEF-funded project was to provide integrated health services and make them accessible through community outreach. EGPAF conducted family health day campaigns in two identified districts (Berea and Qacha’s Nek), with a targeted and expanded focus on adolescents. Specific objectives were to integrate adolescent reproductive health into family health day campaigns, provide HIV testing and counseling to adolescents, and identify and support adolescents living with HIV. EGPAF reached a total of 2,590 clients over a course of five days with comprehensive health services, of which 997 (38.5 percent) were adolescents.
