A sex education in Jamaica, part of a region where
adolescent reproductive health is a paramount concern.
In 1997, the work of UNFPA in the areas of population and reproductive health in Latin
America and the Caribbean region reflected broad themes of the social sector such as the
need to increase efficiency and fairness in the delivery of basic services, including
through involving NGOs; the need to improve data-bases for service planning; the ongoing
decentralization of budgets and operations to local governments; and the effort to achieve
a sustainable distribution between private and public costs. Special efforts have been
made in the last few years to ensure that civil society and NGOs are included in building
national capacity.
