[Girls Not Brides] Worldwide, an estimated 16 million girls between 15 and 19 years old give birth every year [2015 UNFPA: Girlhood not Motherhood] 41 percent of unmarried and sexually active adolescent girls have an unmet need for contraception.

CHOICE is an ambitious and bold youth-led organization. We advocate for the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of young people worldwide and support them to meaningfully participate and to voice and claim their rights. It is our core belief that the SRHR reality of young people can improve through meaningful youth participation in the development, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of programs and SRHR policies at the local, national, regional and global level.

NEGOTIATING FOR CHANGE The Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development was adopted by governments in September 2015 at the United Nations in New York. A ground breaking Agenda because of its universality and aim to leave no-one behind.

For CHOICE, the Agenda represents the opportunity to improve young people’s sexual and reproductive health and rights! CHOICErs have contributed to the long negotiation process on the Agenda in various ways; we participated in Open Working Groups and the Intergovernmental Negotiations, campaigned on social media, cooperated with other youth organizations in developing position papers and statements and we advocated day in day out towards policy

In 2015, I had the opportunity to be the first official Dutch Youth Ambassador for SRHR. I got to travel, meet inspiring people and speak out for the rights of young people. Because I had access to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I got insight into how the government works on youth rights. I was able to provide input in government meetings based on what was

While getting to really shape and establish the position of Youth Ambassador and having organizations and embassies ask for your input was the best part of 2015 for me, there were also some specific - more visible -highlights. Most notable was the statement I gave on behalf of the Netherlands at the Commission on Population and Development. With two rounds 7

BUILDING YOUTH LEADERSHIP

“CHOICE assisted ARI in becoming an established youth-led organization in Indonesia by providing skills and knowledge on advocacy, SRHR issues and MYP - YAP.”

2015 marks the end of two large Programs for CHOICE and partners; ‘Unite for Body Rights’ (UfBR) and Access to Services and Knowledge (ASK). Both Programs were implemented as part of CHOICE’s Youth Leadership Program in which the main goal is to enhance the capacity of our partner organizations on SRHR, youth-led advocacy, meaningful youth participation and organizational development, to ensure sustainability and practice successful advocacy.

As part of the UfBR Program CHOICE financially and technically supported partner organizations to work towards becoming professional and

“CHOICE has been instrumental in enhancing the capacity of the youth advocates and NAYA staff in ensuring that NAYA is a sustainable youth-led organisation.” The added value of the ASK Program was that it was built on the existing structures from the UfBR Program and provided the opportunity for CHOICE and partners to enrich the interventions specifically focused on meaningful youth participation, youth adult partnerships and youth-led advocacy.
