Giving priority to adolescents

Action to address the critical challenges facing adolescents and young people is an urgent priority if social and economic development efforts are to succeed in alleviating poverty, curbing the AIDS pandemic, and empowering women and men to create a more equitable world. Investing in programmes to meet adolescents’ reproductive health needs, in particular, is essential.
