Health
Objective: Improved health status among youth and most vulnerable groups
Overview
Activities improve and promote healthy lifestyle behaviors among youth by addressing adolescent reproductive health and HIV/AIDS, as well as violence prevention and substance abuse. Working in partnership with the Government of Jamaica, USAID activities seek to improve the quality and accessibility of health services for young people, improve health policies related to youth, and strengthen the ability of youth-serving non-governmental organizations to offer healthy lifestyles programs. Assistance also supports Jamaica’s HIV/AIDS National Strategic Plan, addresses issues of HIV/AIDS stigma and discrimination, the use of strategic information systems for decision making and engages the community in prevention, care, and treatment of those living with HIV/AIDS.
