  • Action Plan for Advancing Young People's Health and Development in Nigeria 2010-2012
    ACTION PLAN FOR ADVANCING YOUNG PEOPLE’S HEALTH & DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA: 2010 ‐ 2012 November 2010 1 FEDERAL MINISTRIES OF HEALTH & YOUTH DEVELOPMENT IN COLLABORATION WITH THE UNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUND (UNFPA) ACTION PLAN FOR ADVANCING YOUNG PEOPLE’S HEALTH & DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA: 2010 ‐ 2012 November 2010 i Foreword Adolescents and youth comprise a significant proportion of the Nigerian populace and play an important role in nation building. This is why, the National Policy on the Health and Development of Adolescents and Young People in Nigeria (by the Federal Ministry of Health) and the National Youth Policy (by the Federal Ministry of Youth Development) were developed to address their specific health and development needs. However, these policies have not been implemented as anticipated. In order to boost implementation of the policies and ultimately advance the health and development of young people, a three-day National Consultative Forum of key stakeholders from national and sub-national levels was convened between 31st May and 2nd June, 2010, by the Federal Ministry of Health, Federal Ministry of Youth Development with funding and technical support of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). The theme of the Forum was “Healthy young people; Nigeria’s greatest assets”. The Action Plan for Advancing Young People’s Health & Development in Nigeria which spans a period from 2010 to 2012 was a product of this forum. The Action Plan has its basis in the National Policy on the Health and Development of Adolescents and Young People in Nigeria and the National Youth Policy and their respective implementation frameworks. The process of developing the plan involved input from the stakeholders, including youth representatives from all the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory who attended the Consultative Forum.
