The East and Southern Africa Ministerial Commitment: a review of progress toward fulfilling young people's sexual and reproductive health and rights (2013-2018).

Whilst significant progress has been made in recent years with respect to advancing health and education, the ESA region's young people still experience challenges in relation to their SRHR. This study brings together learning from the available data and reports, as well as the experiences of those closely connected with the process of affirmation/endorsement and implementation of the ESA Commitment between 2013 and 2018. Whilst challenges remain - particularly in relation to monitoring and accountability - the ESA Commitment has instigated notable progress, made possible in part by the emphasis on multisectoral collaboration between health and education sectors nationally and regionally.
