The rationale for the development of country profiles is that while data on individual indicators such as prevalence of child marriage or modern contraceptive use provide useful information, they do not give an overall picture of adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health (ASRH). The country profiles are intended to place data on a selected set of indicators that are available in the public arena to provide a holistic picture of ASRH, within the broader context of their lives. They are primarily intended for national level decision makers working on adolescent health, to inform their policies and strategies. They were developed using this five-step process, which involved consultation with colleagues within WHO and collaborators within and outside the United Nations system at every stage. This is a useful resource for policy makers. Click here to read the document.
