Mali

In Mali, education on reproductive health is the main framework used to address adolescents’ health and well-being within the education system. A multisectoral technical committee brings together several ministries and civil society organisations to coordinate action in this area. Although health education is not a stand-alone subject, many of its themes are already included in the curriculum, particularly in natural sciences and home economics, with an emphasis on preventing infections, early pregnancies and gender-based violence in schools.
