Nigeria National Guidelines for Adolescent Health Programming for Emergency Response

The National Policy on the Health and Development of Adolescent and Young People (2021-2025) identifies the leading challenges of adolescents (age 10-19 years) and young people (age 10-24 years) as including issues of sexual and reproductive health and rights, mental health disorders, substance abuse, nutritional problems, violence, and injuries. The Policy also recognizes the high burden of physical disorders and chronic conditions such as asthma, sickle cell disease disorders, and oral health problems, as well as communicable diseases.
