The Reproductive Health Initiative for Youth in the South Caucasus

The Reproductive Health Initiative for Youth in the South Caucasus (RHIYC) action aims to make sustainable improvements in the sexual and reproductive health of young people in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia. The main target group is youth ages 15 to 24, particularly the most vulnerable youth. Youth will be involved in project design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

This initiative is a partnership led by UNFPA with the Inter-European Parliamentary Forum on Population and Development, with the support of the European Union.

This project will empower youth to realize their rights to accessible, youth-friendly, high quality sexual and reproductive health services and supplies in order to reduce unwanted pregnancies, prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS, and eliminate gender biased violence.

Using best practices from around the world, the RHIYC is designed to meet the SRHR need of youth, reaching at least 50 per cent of the region’s 2, 850,000 youth. The main activities are:

• Informing, educating and communicating with youth about their SRHR;
• Improving availability of and access to quality youth friendly SRHR services and
• Strengthening the SRHR policy environment  through national and inter-country networking

An annual Reproductive Health Initiative Forum will be held in Tbilisi to further foster partnership between Parliamentarians and other decision-makers.
