Short Summary: How can attention to encouraging healthier reproductive and sexual behaviours among young people be linked to support for improving their educational and economic options? The first section of the report is based on an inventory of 'linked' programmes in developing countries and a conceptual framework addressing the complexity of linked interventions. The second part of the report is based on a field-based assessment of selected programmes in three countries: India, Kenya, and Colombia. The final part of the report assesses the challenges and effectiveness of integrated programmes, highlights innovative approaches, defines gaps, and offers concrete recommendations for realising the potential of linking reproductive health and livelihoods. Recommendations include the need to develop networks and alliances of linked programmes to better share strategies, and the need to integrate high quality and affordable services for youth as an essential part of reproductive health interventions.
