This paper found persistently low uptake of SRHS among unmarried adolescents in Tanzania, despite strong national policy commitments to improve access.

Abstract

This paper found persistently low uptake of SRHS among unmarried adolescents in Tanzania, despite strong national policy commitments to improve access. This highlights the gap between policy and the everyday realities of adolescents, shaped by work and relationships. Effective solutions require youth-centered interventions grounded in social spaces, peer networks, and digital platforms to improve service utilization.
