What We Focus On
Young people's lives do not fit into separate programme boxes. NTC therefore connects health, safety, participation, evidence and economic opportunity across a set of mutually reinforcing thematic areas.
Naguru Teenage Centre (NTC) applies an integrated, youth-centred approach to improving the health, well-being and socioeconomic empowerment of young people. Our thematic areas focus on expanding access to quality and responsive sexual and reproductive health services; strengthening facility- and community-based health systems; promoting positive social and behavioural change; advocating for supportive policies and guidelines; advancing youth livelihoods and economic empowerment; and using research, ICT and innovation to inform programming and reach vulnerable and underserved populations. Through partnerships with the Government of Uganda, communities and other stakeholders, we create sustainable solutions that enable young people to access essential services, exercise their rights and achieve their full potential.
Integrated, confidential services that respond to adolescents' realities.
We strengthen access to integrated, confidential and non-judgemental services that respond to adolescents' ages, circumstances, identities and locations.
Stronger facilities, referral pathways and data for lasting change.
In partnership with government, we support data-driven facilities and community systems, build provider and peer capacity and improve referrals, supervision and quality.
Radio, dialogue and digital media that shift knowledge and norms.
Radio, community dialogue, flash mobs, peer communication, digital media and culturally responsive materials help shift knowledge, attitudes and norms.
Savings, financial literacy and marketable skills for economic resilience.
Savings groups, financial literacy, life skills and marketable-skills training help young people build resilience and expand their economic choices.
