Transforming the landscape of adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health

The achievement of Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice (SRHRJ) for all young people requires the leadership and expertise of youth at the center of policies, programs and interventions at the local, national, and international levels. The GRA’s vision is that young people are equal partners in decision-making processes that ensure the sexual and reproductive health and rights needs and wants of young people are met, through five (5) priorities:

Diversity in Youth Identities & Needs
Progressive Policies
Meaningful Youth Partnerships
Equitable Financing
Transparent Data and Reporting

Connected Global Program

The Next Generation Leaders Global Program is focused on implementing meaningful engagement of youth across all activities and priorities, recognizing that effectively empowering youth is non-negotiable in achieving a sustainable and impactful future for global health. The William H. Gates Sr. Institute and Bayer first partnered together to provide seed funding to the core leadership team to assemble the coalition of youth-led organizations and developed the roadmap platform. The Institute has committed to providing additional seed funding for the GRA, and strongly encourages new partners to invest in this youth-driven movement. Together, the Global Roadmap for Action and the Next Generation Leaders Global Program work towards empowering young leaders and advancing youth-led initiatives in the realm of sexual and reproductive health and rights, fostering a more inclusive and impactful future for adolescents and youth worldwide.
