Adolescent- and Gender-Responsive Health Systems Assessment.

The "Adolescent- and Gender-Responsive Health Systems Assessment" is a pivotal effort under the MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership initiative, funded by USAID, and conducted in Pujehun District, Sierra Leone. This project seeks to address the critical gaps in adolescent health services by evaluating the responsiveness of the district's health system through a gender and youth-focused lens. Adolescents often face barriers such as stigmatization, limited access to services, and gender inequities, which hinder their ability to receive high-quality care. The assessment takes an innovative approach, using a specialized tool based on the WHO health system building blocks combined with community-based strategies.
