This International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP), we are once more shining the spotlight on the young people at the helm in driving Adolescents 360 (A360) forward. Since launching in 2016, and through our journey to scale and beyond, 280+ young people have injected their insights, perspectives and vision into how we, collectively, are reimagining the future of adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health programming.
Our young designers are trailblazers. But don’t take it from us. Hear from them by hovering over their photos, below.
