Adolescents’ Potential Unleashed
In East Asia and the Pacific

Highlights
With over 60 per cent of the worlds’ youth living in the larger Asia Pacific region, supporting this age group to interact with and adapt to a rapidly changing world, develop creative and critical thinking skills and fostering ideals of responsible global citizenship are all critical to unleashing their potential. UNICEF will contribute to efforts on: 1) Adolescent learning outcomes; 2) Gender responsive adolescent health and nutrition; 3) Prevention and protection from violence; 4) Child pregnancies and child marriage; 5) Safe spaces for participation, creativity and self-expression; 6) Safe access to and responsible use of ICT.
