Dashboard on Youth Sexual & Reproductive Health: Asia & Middle East

Youth touching the skyWelcome to the Dashboard on Youth Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH): Asia and Middle East Countries. This dashboard provides at-a-glance views of indicators related to the SRH of people ages 10 to 24 years in select countries in Asia, where sixty percent of the world's young people live, and the Middle East, which has one of the youngest populations in the world. The 19 countries covered are among USAID priority countries for reproductive health in regions where burgeoning youth populations represent both challenges and opportunities.

This unique tool provides data from more than 25 sources not aggregated elsewhere and discusses the implications of this information for youth SRH. The data include adolescent pregnancy rates, HIV prevalence, rates of early marriage, literacy rates, and much more. The resource is intended for program managers, policymakers, ministries of health, researchers, youth advocates, and donors.
