In 2018, the Supreme Court of Pakistan took suo motu action to address the challenges of rapid population growth, recommending initiatives such as age-appropriate Life Skills-Based Education, Population Studies in educational institutions, and mandatory pre-marital family planning counseling for Nikah registration. In response, the National Committee for Maternal and Neonatal Health (NCMNH) and the Association for Mothers and Newborns (AMAN) developed Bakhabar Noujawan (Well-Informed Youth). This reproductive health course provides evidence-based information for young adults aged 15-29. Aligned with Pakistan’s commitments to the SDGs, FP2030, and ICPD25, the course has been approved by the Ministry of National Health Services, Regulations, and Coordination (MoNHSR&C). Its goal is to empower youth with knowledge to make informed decisions and contribute as responsible members of their communities.
