Fact Sheet. Improve Provision of Youth-Friendly Health Services in Kabale District
Young people make up the majority of Kabale District’s population. With access to youth-friendly health services, including family planning for pregnancy prevention, they can lead healthy and productive lives that contribute to Kabale’s society and economy.
Focus groups and interviews conducted by Population Reference Bureau (PRB) and the International Youth Alliance for Family Planning (IYAFP) in Kampala, Mayuge, and Kabale districts in 2018 revealed that despite strong policies dedicated to expanding youth-friendly contraceptive services in Uganda, these services are not readily available.
Neighborhoods that are more walkable, with accessible public transportation, and amenities such as parks that promote physical and social activity are associated with better health.

[caption] => The Annie E. Casey Foundation released the 2017 KIDS COUNT Data Book on June 13, 2017. The KIDS COUNT Data Book—now in its 28th year—provides an up-to-date and detailed picture of how children are faring in the United States, nationally and in each state. The KIDS COUNT Data Book features a comprehensive index of child well-being and includes a national profile and state-level rankings across four content domains: (1) Economic Well-Being, (2) Education, (3) Health, and (4) Family and Community. The 2017 Data Book reveals many bright spots for children and family well-being during the economic recovery following the Great Recession, yet room for improvement remains in many areas.
