Two workshops were organized by UNFPA Tunisia in partnership with the Department of School and University Medicine on March 26 and 27th and on April 24 and 25th, 2019, whose objective was to develop the operational plan for the national multisectoral strategy aiming to promote adolescent and young people health, validated in December 2018.

These workshops allowed agreeing, in a participatory process that was led by young people, on the operational objectives, the targets to be achieved, the monitoring indicators, the implementation schedule and the division of responsibilities for the strategy implementation. Priority interventions related to the implementation of this Strategy has been identified, among which we mention:

• •The creation of a national Adolescent and Youth Health Unit,
• • The adoption and implementation of an organizational model that will manage the collection analysis and sharing of knowledge on young people’s health,
• • The development and dissemination of a guidance note specifying forms and tools to ensure young people participation in the planning and monitoring of health strategies and programs.

Next step consists on validating the elaborated document and advocate for its adoption and implementation by relevant ministries.
