The United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is currently collaborating with the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Africa in the implementation of the Global Adolescent School Health Survey (GSHS) and the Global Policy Survey and School Health Practices (G-SHPPS) in the African region.   The Ministry of Health (MoH) of South Sudan, in collaboration with the Ministry of General Education and Instruction (MoGEI), UNESCO and WHO, and other partners will ensure that the joint initiative provides up-to-date and valid data on health behaviors, particularly regarding noncommunicable diseases among school-going adolescents, as well as school policies and practices that impact health.   These surveys are essential tools for countries to monitor various facets of adolescent health behavior and non-communicable disease risk factor behavior. In addition, contribute to the evaluation and implementation of preventive measures and health promotion initiatives targeting crucial areas linked to these adolescent health issues.   The surveys will provide critical baseline data on adolescent health, informing national policy, strategy development, and program implementation aimed at improving school health and adolescent well-being.
