With a growing population of adolescents and youth in sub-Saharan Africa, there is an opportunity to reap an unprecedented demographic dividend if they are educated, healthy and employed. Through its flagship programme, Our rights, Our lives, Our future (O3), UNESCO supports countries to provide good quality comprehensive sexuality education that empowers adolescents and young people while developing the skills, knowledge and attitudes they need to prevent HIV infections, reduce early and unintended pregnancies, and eliminate gender-based violence. It also focuses on building safe learning environments for learners by preventing all forms of violence including bullying in and around schools.

As an extension to the programme, O3 Plus, supports learners in higher and tertiary education institutions to achieve positive outcomes in education, health and gender equality, through access to CSE and sexual and reproductive health services.

Through the generous support of the Governments of Switzerland, Sweden, France and Norway, the O3 Plus Programme is rolled out in six countries – Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia and Uganda.

It is often assumed that students in tertiary levels of education, have already received knowledge and education that equips them to avoid adverse health outcomes as they transition from childhood to adulthood, however, evidence has shown that this is often not true. As young people in higher and tertiary education institutes continue to be exposed to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR)-related concerns and risks such as unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV, and gender-based violence (GBV), the O3 Plus project aims to bridge this gap by focusing on these education institutions. By addressing the specific needs of students at this level, the project aims to improve their knowledge, access to services, and overall well-being. 

UNESCO strongly believes in the power of education to transform the lives of young people, while recognizing that inclusive and transformative education cannot be achieved if students are not safe, well-nourished, healthy, and free from violence and discrimination.
