  2. Reproductive Health Integration • Planning for Life Phase 1: Development of Materials & pilot projects • Planning for Life Phase 2: • Learning sessions with IYF staff • Translation of “Reproductive Health Lessons: A Supplemental Curriculum for Young People” • Train 6 partners in the health lessons & provide them with small grants • Make final tested, translated and adapted RH Lessons available to all partners and program staff

  4. Best Practices for Integration Effective Programs include: • Interactive teaching methodologies; that incite discussion between young people and trainers • RH lessons taught at the end of life skills training cycle • Groups of less than 25-30 young people • Trainers/teachers should attend sensitization sessions and trainings before teaching the lessons

  5. Best Practices for Integration • Work with community leaders, trainers, partner staff and parents to contribute to a supportive environment. Give updates throughout the program. • Survey young people and trainers before the RH Lessons are taught to determine whether to have mixed or separated groups. • Pay close attention to cultural practices and religion.

  6. Youth RH/FP Integration Framework

  7. What is the PTS program? • Targets vulnerable youth, 12-24, who are in school but at risk of dropping out, as well as those that are out of school, out of work, or working in dangerous environments. • A key measure of success is the extent to which young people are either in school or employed six months after participating in the program.

  8. Where do we intervene? • PTS has been successfully tested in a variety of venues and integrated in existing youth programming, including: • Public and private primary and secondary schools, both in and out-of-school programs • Vocational technical institutes • Youth-serving non-profit organizations • Teacher training colleges

  9. Who have we reached? • To date, the PTS program has reached more than 50,000 young people in nine countries and 12 languages. • In addition, over 1,600 youth educators and teachers have been trained to deliver the program.

  10. Key Elements of PTS Model • Quality and adaptability of curriculum • Service-Learning • In-Depth teacher training • Mentorship of teachers • Rigorous Monitoring and Evaluation
