Abstract:
dolescents and youth comprise 33% of Ethiopia’s population which has a great implication on the social,
economic, and political agenda of the country and positively contribute to the country’s development if
investments are made towards the attainment of their health potential. To realize this goal, the Ministry
of Health has been developing and implementing two consecutive strategies in line with the rolling health
sector development plan. To this end, the third National Adolescent and Youth Health Strategy would
bring out Ethiopia’s commitment to transforming the health and wellbeing of the adolescents and youth
through a coordinated effort with regional health bureau and partners to rapidly improve their health
status in Ethiopia.
