In 2000, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation granted $57 million to create an innovative partnership that would work for five years to improve adolescent sexual and reproductive health in Botswana, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda.  The African Youth Alliance — a program developed by PATH, Pathfinder International and the United Nations Population Fund — has strengthened the ability of existing organizations to serve youth more effectively, created new methods and techniques, and changed the lives of thousands of African young people.

This website offers an overview of the strategies, resources and successes made possible by the generosity of the Gates Foundation, and the skill and hard work of the men, women and youth who have dedicated themselves to improving sexual and reproductive health for young people in Africa and around the world.
