WHO Global Accelerated Action for the Health of Adolescents (AA-HA!) Guidance to Support Country Implementation

The AA-HA! guidance aims to assist governments in deciding what they plan to do – and how they plan to do it – as they respond to the health needs of adolescents in their countries. It is intended as a reference document for national-level policy-makers and programme managers to assist them in planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluation of adolescent health programmes. After a brief introduction which summarizes the main arguments for investing in adolescent health, the document details the key steps from understanding the country’s epidemiological profile, to undertaking a landscape analysis to clarify what is already being done and by whom, to conducting a consultative process for setting priorities, to planning, implementing, monitoring and evaluating national adolescent health programmes, and ends with key research priorities.
