NGOs were the first to respond to the challenge of adolescent pregnancy and childbearing. Their projects and research studies by academic institutions have shown that adolescent pregnancy and childbearing can be reduced through tailormade interventions.
In a growing number of countries, governments are taking the lead and have put in place large scale (nationwide) and sustained programmes which have demonstrated success in reducing adolescent pregnancy and childbearing in different contexts for example in Chile, England, Ethiopia and Jamaica.
They have shown what is possible with visionary leadership, good science, and strong management. They challenge other countries to do the same.
