Amongst issues discussed was the need to support and sustain sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education for the youth as a central component of youth development in Ghana.

Madam Abena, noted that, “promoting access to Sexual Reproductive and Health Rights (SRHR) information and services will ensure that the youth do not lose out in pursuit of their potential as a result of negative sexual and reproductive health outcomes including but not limited to teenage pregnancies, child marriage, SGBV, drug abuse, and others”. The Minister praised PPAG for its contribution to the growth and development of the Ghanaian youth and pledged his support to PPAG’s goals and objectives.
