The State of Education and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for Adolescent Girls in Senegal: Findings of the Exploratory Study

Abstract

The purpose of this Exploratory Study was to establish the perspectives of stakeholders (ministry officials and program actors) including beneficiaries (parents and adolescents) on girls’ education and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Senegal. In Senegal, 52% of the country’s population is under 20 years (ANSD, 2019). This demographic context leads to a significant increase in basic social needs in education and health.
