The purpose of this policy brief is to provide a snapshot on the situation of adolescents in Nepal as well as to present key findings and recommendations emanating from a study on barriers and constraints affecting the quality of AFS in Nepal which was conducted in 2014.Adolescents in Nepal Adolescents (10-19 years) account for 24.19% (6.4 million) of Nepal's population (Census 2011).
This developmental stage marks the critical transition from childhood to adulthood, during which physical, emotional, cognitive and social changes expose adolescents to new health needs and risks. Based on data and information collected, adolescents are not fully aware of their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) nor are they able to exercise them fully.
