Background

The Adolescents Programme aims to empower adolescents especially the most vulnerable to become productive members of their communities and to reduce conflict-related vulnerabilities. Towards this goal, the Adolescents Programme supported the establishment of adolescent and youth friendly spaces and services in selected conflict-affected localities with the following features: broader access to alternative learning and vocational training; link to sustainable livelihoods; life skills development with particular focus on adolescent and youth participation, and peace education; strengthening of youth networks and governance; and development of demand-driven, youth-centred policies, strategies and services. The Programme builds on UNICEF’s multi-sectoral work in health, WASH, education, child protection by linking and where needed establishing services for adolescents and youth. Given the multitude of interrelated risks and enabling factors that young people face in Sudan, the programme follows a holistic and multi-sectorial approach to adolescent development and empowerment. Crosscutting issues of human rights, gender equality, peace building, environmental sustainability, and capacity development are central to the Programme‘s work.

The Programme targets adolescents between (10-18) years with focus on the most vulnerable adolescents including adolescent girls, out-of-school adolescents, adolescents affected by conflict, and adolescents in need of special protection such as adolescents with disabilities.

Empowerment of the most vulnerable adolescents and equipping them with the knowledge and life skills that reduce their vulnerabilities and protect them from violence is a key area that the Adolescents section will work on together with the Education and Child Protection Sections in UNICEF.

2) Part 2 (Sensitization Component): Training modules will be prepared to sensitize the policy makers and mangers on the positive development approach to adolescents and to support the empowerment of adolescents as resources. Target groups could include police, manager of the FCPU units, judges and others

The process that will be followed will be participatory, will build on existing relevant resources and will take into consideration the existing diversity in the Sudanese context.
