Two areas of our work have evolved significantly in recent years—health systems and AYSRH-responsive services. As we respond to these changes, let’s seize the opportunity to bring together these two important fields. It’s time to answer the call of young people for health systems that are more responsive to their diverse needs.

The event was hosted by the Evidence to Action (E2A) Project, NextGen RH Community of Practice, FP2030, Pathfinder International, World Health Organization/IBP Network, Global Financing Facility, and Knowledge SUCCESS. Technical experts, youth leaders, program implementers, and global partners focused on essential components of adolescent-responsive systems thinking and strategies that can help propel our field forward.
