UNFPA is an international development agency that promotes the right of every woman, man, and
child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity. UNFPA supports countries in using population
data for policies and programmes to reduce poverty and to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted,
every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV/AIDS, and every girl and woman is treated
with dignity and respect.
The Y-PEER Programme has worked since 2001 with country partners to build the capacity of
national non-governmental organizations and governments to implement, supervise, monitor, and
evaluate peer education programmes to prevent HIV/AIDS and improve reproductive health. The
Y-PEER initiative has been spearheaded by UNFPA in partnership with FHI/YouthNet, the United
Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), and others. Y-PEER, launched in 27 countries of Eastern Europe
and Central Asia, is now spreading to other regions of the world, including the Arab states, Africa,
and Latin America.
YouthNet is a five-year programme funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID) to improve reproductive health and prevent HIV among young people. The YouthNet
team is led by FHI and includes CARE USA and RTI International. This publication is funded in part
through the USAID Cooperative Agreement with FHI for YouthNet, No. GPH-A-00-01-00013-00.
