The National Council for Childhood and Motherhood (NCCM) initiated reproductive health education in schools in 2003, with support from the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Egyp- tian Family Health Society. Initially, the project was called “The Reproductive Health Component for Support of Egyptian Girls.” The name later changed to the “Adolescents’ Health Program” at the request of the local communities. Originally a one-year initiative, it was extended until the end of 2012 due to its positive impact and community acceptance. The program is now run in cooperation with several governmental agencies and local NGOs, providing SRH education as an extracurricular.
