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.
