Accordingly, at its 36th Ordinary Session, held on 23 November – 4 December 2020, the Committee decided to undertake a study to assess the situation of teenage pregnancy in Africa. The current study – Teenage Pregnancy in Africa: Status, Progress and Challenges – is the result of that initiative. It provides the necessary evidence base for the Committee’s engagement with State Parties to address the issue; more specifically, it identifies a range of solutions that the Committee can adopt in continental frameworks or guidelines for national action.
