This report is the result of collaboration among the Population Council, the Center for Research on Environment Health and Population Activities
(CREHPA), and Yuwalaya. UNICEF Nepal’s Adolescent Development and Participation (ADAP) program commissioned this research under the leadership of Nafisa Binte Shafique, Chief of the ADAP Section in Nepal. Key members of the
UNICEF team included Jaya Burathoki and Pragya Shah Karki.
The research team at CREHPA was led by Dr. Mahesh Puri, Associate Director, who
led the adolescent household survey team as study coordinator. Yuwalaya, which conducted participatory research with adolescents, was led by
Subash Neupane, President, and Chetana Tulachan. The report benefited from the contributions of many individuals and institutions who made this research
possible. The research team would like to extend their sincere thanks to all those who provided their expertise, hard work, and energy.Nepal is home to 6.4 million adolescents aged 10-19, and one in four residents of Nepal is an adolescent. Adolescence is a time of transition and exploration. Adolescents experience the most dramatic growth in their body and mind and also the development of their identity.
