Gary Layn

In this session, we will discuss three solutions-oriented focus areas with experts and participants, while the audience will formulate actionable recommendations for each:
1) Co-creating public support through multi-stakeholder dialogue;
2) Leveraging digital CSE resources to reach marginalized youth;
3) Increasing the evidence-based understanding of the nature of public and political polemics on CSE.
In their concluding remarks, our discussants will touch upon implications of the discussed strategies for:
a) local adaptation and delivery of sexuality education, teacher training, peer education training, youth ambassador training and engagement of parents and the community
b) capacity strengthening in higher education and research institutes
and jointly emphasise the importance of youth-adult partnerships for the path ahead.
