Integrating Reproductive Health into Youth Development Programs Toolkit

Developed by the International Youth Foundation (IYF) and its partners for IYF’s Global Partner Network, as part of the "Planning for Life" project, this toolkit provides a strategic framework for youth reproductive health (YRH) and family planning (FP) and its integration into youth development programmes. Based on an initial "Planning for Life" Project Launch and Technical Workshop that took place in New Delhi, India in September 2007, this toolkit was developed in order to provide resources for programme managers, educators, youth leaders, and advocates to incorporate reproductive health into programmes for and with youth. It's goal is to strengthen existing youth programmes and new programmes that incorporate reproductive and sexual health education and empowerment.

The toolkit consists of the following chapters:

• Youth reproductive health: The global picture
• Youth development and youth reproductive health
• Integration of youth reproductive health in IYF's youth development programme
• Guiding principles for YRH integration
• Programmatic elements of YRH/FP integration into youth development programmes
• Supportive strategies
• Monitoring and evaluation
