What we do

SYAN builds the capacities of adolescent and youth groups in the South-East Asia Region (SEAR) to undertake effective advocacy and engagement, and strengthen youth-led efforts to advance adolescent health and well-being initiatives in their own countries.

SYAN is supported by the WHO-SEARO. One of the six WHO Regions, WHO South-East Asia is home to over a quarter of the world’s population. Committed to building a better, healthier future for the nearly two billion people in the region, WHO is working with its 11 Member States to address persisting and emerging epidemiological and demographic challenges.
