Adolescent Defined Quality “Making Decisions” – A Project with Adolescents and Youth, Bolivia 2006-2009

With funding from USAID-Bolivia and in partnership with other six institutions, Save the Children implemented the “Making Decisions” project over a 20-month period (October 2006 to August 2009) in the area of sexual and reproductive health, including prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS. The programme enables young people to adopt healthy practices and use quality services that meet their health needs. This project focuses on health promotion and prevention, targeting 90,000 adolescents 10-18 years, and youth 19 -24 years in 15 Bolivian municipalities. The goal of the project is to contribute to the improvement of the sexual and reproductive health of adolescents and youth through strategies and actions that facilitate increased access to information, counseling and quality of services.
