In 2006, CEDPA was invited by the government of India to provide the technical assistance and develop systems to effectively implement and monitor the Adolescent Education Program, a key initiative of the government to reach out to young people through a school-based program across the country. The health policy of the state of Jharkhand requires that “family life education” be introduced at appropriate levels in schools and colleges. Jharkhand government initiated a “School AIDS Education Program” (SAEP) through the Jharkhand State AIDS Control Society (JSACS) in June 2003. Recently, CEDPA presented this poster describing the program at the fifth Asia Pacific Conference on Reproductive and Sexual Health and Rights.
