Adolescents and Youth account for approximately 60% of the whole population in
Tanzania. Adolescents aged 10-19 account for about a fourth of the total population
(12,439,677)[1] in the country. The Youth Summit aimed to reposition the national
adolescents and youths' Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) agenda
towards a narrative owned by Tanzanian adolescents and youth. Specifically, it aimed
at amplifying adolescents' and youth voices on how the societal structures and
systems are responding to their Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)
related needs; deliberate on existing adolescent and youth engagement frameworks
at all levels towards improving their meaningful involvement and participation, to
ensure full implementation of strategic documents such as the National Accelerated
Action and Investment Agenda for Adolescent Health and Wellbeing (NAIA_AHW); and
mobilize a nationally coordinated adolescent and youth movement by sharing best
practices and innovations that address Adolescents and Youth Sexual Reproductive
Health and Rights (AYSRHR) challenges in Tanzania.
