Are the youth in Tanzania healthy?
/ 2011

In this policy brief, Tamasha presents findings about the different environments that influence young people?s health in Tanzania. The brief explains that Tanzania cannot expect to produce a new generation that is physically, mentally and socially healthy if they study in school environments that leave them to their own devices for most of the day. It also recommends that more needs to be done to protect young women from sexual harassment. There is also a need for many more health facilities, as well as improved roads, forms of transport, and communication that will enable young people to utilize health facilities.
