Background paper prepared for theEducation for All Global Monitoring Report 2012 Youth and skills: Putting education to work
2012/ED/EFA/MRT/PI/15
Les efforts entrepris dans la lutte contre la tuberculose sont encore loin de résoudre les faibles taux de détection et de guérison enregistrés. La Participation communautaire aux soins de la tuberculose par le programme de l’USAID et celui de PLAN/Sénégal avec le Fonds Mondial, ont permis ...une amélioration des connaissances sur la tuberculose et l’utilisation encore timide des structures de santé comme premier recours.
Toutefois, les conclusions de la dernière revue externe du mois de décembre 2012 mettent en relief un défi communicationnel face aux multiples difficultés qui fragilisent les tentatives déjà entreprises.
Ce plan de communication qui tient compte de plusieurs paramètres, se veut une réponse pour une meilleure adhésion et une appropriation des stratégies du programme par la communauté.

Ethnic disparities in COVID-19 persist, with increased rates of infection, severe disease, and death among people from minority ethnic groups. COVID-19 vaccination rates also remain lowest in these communities compared with white people in the UK. Among people older than 18 years, the proportion who... have had three COVID-19 vaccinations in England in March, 2022, was lowest among Black Caribbean (38%), Black African (45%), and Pakistani (45%) ethnic groups. These disparities are likely to be attributed to the intersection of key social determinants, including socioeconomic factors such as deprivation, overcrowding, and working patterns and conditions,
alongside discrimination and structural violence in the health-care system and society.

UNFPA has been implementing programming for women and girls through Women Friendly Health Spaces (WFHSs), which provide access to critical services, information and support. The WFHS is providing: psychosocial counseling services; awareness raising sessions on PSS in the community; and life skills &... vocational training opportunities. The WFHS also facilitates referral to other services including Psychosocial Counseling Centers (PSCCs).
The aim of this guidance note is to provide an overview of approaches on how to successfully integrate adolescent and youth (A&Y) programming into the WFHSs. UNFPA activities for women’s and girl’s protection in health facilities aim to protect women and girls including child marriage. Given that vulnerable women and girls in Afghanistan continue to access health facilities, particularly for reproductive health and maternal health services, it is crucial to provide support for survivors in the same location to improve access to essential psychosocial and protection support for women and girls. To support the integration of A&Y in the WFHS programming each WFHS will be supported by two full time Youth Educators. A female Youth Educator who will be working within the WFHS and a male Youth Educator who will be working in the community. The role of the Youth educators is to increase A&Y awareness and knowledge on living healthy lifestyles and ensuring a referral system to services in existing facilities.
