Sex and age disaggregated program data are often unavailable in national information systems for the adolescent cohort. This technical guidance from UNICEF guides countries through the process of collecting and reporting sub-national data on adolescents to inform program planning and implementation efforts. The document explains how to dig into available data sources and addresses their strengths and limitations. Then, it gives instructions on collecting and reporting of sex and age disaggregated data on adolescents. Finally, the guidance addresses how to integrate this data into routine monitoring and to use the information for strategic planning.
