The African Youth Alliance is a collaborative program between the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), and Pathfinder International -- three expert development groups which have come together to form a unique and significant alliance to reduce the incidence and spread of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and improve overall adolescent reproductive health in Botswana, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda. While the partners work together to effect change in the AYA countries, each brings its own areas of expertise. The following program tools and documents are organized by publishing partner.
