20. From various research done, adolescent pregnancy is a
problem that the world is facing. Many girls who
become pregnant have to leave school. This has long-
term implications for them as individuals, their
families and their communities
With the current era of the HIV epidemic, adolescent
pregnant poses a threat to the future of countries hard
hit. As many of their youth are at risk of contacting
HIV.
Services that aim at preventing adolescent pregnancy
needs to be intensified and made accessible to youth.
Education should also be intensified and also be
translated I various languages to cater for different
tribes in the country.
