Fact Sheet

 

UNFPA's Transformative Agenda is a comprehensive programme aimed at driving profound and positive change for women, adolescents, and youth, including persons with disabilities. It will achieve this by advancing their sexual and reproductive health and rights, with a specific focus of family planning as a catalyst for transformation. While the programme started its first phase in 2018, the second phase commenced in July 2023. In this leaflet you will read the approach taken in Phase II to achieve the aforementioned goal and the geography of the programme.

Publication

Marooroo tells a story of a 16-year-old boy from Kiribati on a quest for condoms. The comic encourages discussions around young people’s access to condoms, including where condoms can be obtained, and to de-stigmatise young people seeking SRH services and commodities in Kiribati. The comic book was released during the International Youth Day celebrations from 5-12 August 2022, to a target audience of young I-Kiribati men and women between 13-24 years.

Guidance for a monitoring and evaluation framework for schoolbased Family Life Education in Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa, Solomon Islan

Guidance for a monitoring and evaluation framework for schoolbased Family Life Education in Fiji, Kiribati, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu

Technical Reports and Document

Family life education (FLE) is a curriculum-based process of teaching and learning about the cognitive, emotional, physical and social aspects of sexuality and family formation. A well designed and implemented FLE program can prepare children and young people for healthy and responsible relationships throughout their lives. FLE also supports young people to develop good health, and safeguard their own and others’ sexual and reproductive health and rights.

There is increased attention and investment in FLE from national governments globally and in the Pacific region. Embedding a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation framework in a national FLE program supports the program to achieve maximum impact by tracking implementation quality and school-level outcomes, and assists policymakers and school leaders to tailor the program to evolving population health needs and other national priorities.

This guidance for a monitoring and evaluation framework for school based family life education (FLE) was commissioned by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and undertaken by the Burnet Institute under the Australian Government funded Transformative Agenda for Women, Adolescents and Youth in the Pacific programme. The content in this guidance is presented and shared as a basis for future collaborative discussion and adaptation with Ministries of Education representatives and other national stakeholders, to support the development of locally contextualised national monitoring and evaluation frameworks for FLE for the six programme countries.
