| Organization Description: | |
| Advocacy for Adolescent and Youth Health Network (AAYoH-Net) is a youth led health rights and advocacy action group that was established in June 2012 by a group of Youth leaders and youth activists with passion in addressing human rights and health issues of young people. VISION: A society where the reproductive health and rights of adolescent and youths are recognized provided for and respected. MISSION: To advocate for the implementation of policies and legislation on adolescent and youth health through dissemination of information, championing and promoting their rights at national and community level. AAYoH-Net Sierra Leone is a legal entity registered under the National Youth Commission and the Ministry of Social Welfare and children Affairs as a not for profit. AAYoH-Net was born out of the need to; • Promote meaningful, efficient and effective young people's involvement in the designing, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of health programs where they are key stakeholders and partners as well as service beneficiaries. • Promote gender equity and equality and promote women empowerment girls child education. • Address gaps in TB and HIV prevention, testing and care, while helping to improve service provision and treatment outcomes for adolescents and youth through to adulthood. Tuberculosis is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity among the slum communities in Sierra Leone. For this, AaYoH-Net has join the National TB Control Programme and other civil society groups to strengthen the campaign against TB, especially among young people. |
