Like and Share! Our new report with Save the Children did find some noteworthy practices of ASRH (adolescent sexual and reproductive health) in humanitarian settings, in spite of large gaps. Three programs that are especially successful: Profamilia Colombia, Adolescent Reproductive Health Network (ARHN) in Thailand, and Straight Talk Foundation in Uganda. We recommend that donors should increase support for holistic, comprehensive, flexible ASRH programming, and humanitarian organizations should provide integrated and adolescent-friendly SRH services that seek to engage adolescents in a meaningful way.
