The active participation of young individuals in the development and execution of programs and policies directed towards youth, particularly in matters of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), is key for the effectiveness of such initiatives. Meaningful involvement of youth in advocacy entails their engagement across all stages of advocacy, encompassing issue selection, strategy formulation, implementation, and evaluation. Given the scarcity of data on youth advocacy concerning SRHR, along with its achievements and obstacles in Mozambique, this study seeks to examine the approaches employed by young people in advocating for SRHR at both provincial and national levels, and to draw insights from these experiences to inform advocacy efforts in Mozambique.

The research, conducted by KIT Royal Tropical Institute under the Break Free! Programme, which strives to enhance adolescents’ access to SRHR information, education, and services across nine African nations by providing support to civil society organizations.
