In Zambia, the MOH has made the adolescent agenda a top priority. To make the voice of adolescents heard, this particular group is given the opportunity to raise their voices to speak to stakeholders from the health center level to the district and provincial levels where civic leaders, traditional leaders, religious leaders, parents and implementing partners come together and put adolescents at the center of business and discussion. What do they want? What support do they expect to achieve equitable, affordable HIV and sexual and reproductive health services?

After the provincial meetings, there will be a national meeting to consolidate the recommendations of all the provincial adolescent stakeholders into one document to advance the adolescent health agenda in Zambia.
