Action Health Incorporated (AHI) is a pioneering non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to improving the health of Nigerian adolescents.

We are concerned about the prevailing appalling status of adolescent reproductive and sexual health, and have taken on the mandate to serve as a catalyst for change. Over the past sixteen years, we have implemented activities that have affected several thousand adolescents across the country and continue to strive to create awareness on the status of adolescent health in Nigeria and the need to take immediate positive action among parents, policy makers, and the community at large.


Report of the Youth Sexuality Institute at the 3rd Africa Conference on Sexual Health and Rights

A two-day programme geared towards creating a generation of young people with a positive view about human sexuality and who are empowered to make safe and responsible choices was born at the Sexuality Institute which took place from February 5-6, 2008 in Abuja, Nigeria. The programme which was part of the 3rd Africa Conference on Sexual Health and Rights had many young people aged 18-24 years in attendance.

The Institute provided an opportunity for participants to develop a better understanding of their sexuality; clarify their values and affirm their sexual health and rights. It also aimed to build their capacity to prevent violation of their bodily integrity, take care of their sexual health, and express love and intimacy in responsible ways.

Sessions were facilitated by Action Health Incorporated (AHI) along with some partner NGOs namely, AMANITARE, GPI, LRRDC, IPAS, UNFPA, CRR, BAOBAB for Women's Rights, NACA, PATA, Project Alert, IWHC, PPFA-I, and CHESTRAD.
