Comprehensive sexuality education
Comprehensive sexuality education is an important part of the learning journey that provides children and young people with the knowledge and values they need to make positive decisions about their sexuality, relationships and future. Comprehensive sexuality education is curriculum-based teaching covering a broad range of sexualities, including rights and equal worth. Children and young people may receive sexuality education in school and in both formal and informal settings. Sexuality education can be included as an interdisciplinary topic, as an individual subject or a dedicated subject. Delivering sexuality education can be challenging in many countries and contexts as it is a sensitive topic that faces coordinated resistance from various opposition groups. It is therefore crucial that the work is evidence-based and that activities are adapted for different contexts.

Health systems and primary health services
Each year, 9 million people in low and lower middle income countries (LMICs) die from conditions that should have been managed by the health systems in the countries. About 60 per cent of these deaths are attributed to poor quality care and 40 per cent to limited access to services. COVID-19 demonstrated the importance of protecting the population against infections, responding to outbreaks and also ensuring and maintaining services. Norway works to strengthen health systems, primary health services and achieve universal health care (UHC) in developing countries.
