By Newton, Nancy..

62p. , The Family Planning Service expansion and Technical Support (SeATS) Project (1995-2000) aimed to expand the development of, access to, and use of quality family planning and reproductive health services in underserved populations and ensure that unmet demand for these services was addressed through the provision of appropriate resources. This paper summarizes the experience of SeATS with subprojects and activities of the Youth Initiative in 8 countries: Albania, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, eritrea, Russia, Senegal, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Many of these youth-oriented subprojects and activities reflect agreed-upon best practices, and others represent novel approaches to promoting, protecting, and improving the youth's sexual and reproductive health. Some of the lessons that SeATS learned as it carried out its mandate to improve health services for youth while simultaneously applying a range of documented best practices and testing new approaches are: 1) addressing the needs of the youth does not require starting with a separate project or intervention targeting youth; 2) basic human rights, including clients' rights and reproductive rights, are a compelling rationale for offering reproductive health education and services to young people; 3) the cost associated with referral services are a barrier to access; and 4) peer educators can be very resourceful fundraisers.
