UNESCO has a suggested list of key concepts to cover at varying stages of life, and Knowledge SUCCESS has a toolkit introducing adaptable teaching materials.<\/p>\n<p>Practical tips to prepare curricula that are inclusive and informed by evidence:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Carefully assess the resources (human, time, and financial) available to develop and implement curricula<\/strong>. Here are <a href=\"https:\/\/csetoolkit.unesco.org\/toolkit\/programme-design\/resources\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">some resources<\/a> for adaptable curricula that are relatively accessible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pay attention to what young people in your setting may be learning elsewhere<\/strong>. Curricula should address misinformation and present a non-judgmental view of sexuality, sexual practices between <a href=\"https:\/\/care.ucr.edu\/education\/what-is-consent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">consenting<\/a> partners, and gender identities and expressions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Include interactive, participatory activities where appropriate<\/strong>.

Partnerships with identity-specific community groups in particular can help young people from marginalized groups link up with the support that is most relevant to them. CSE programs should also promote the availability and accessibility of <a href=\"https:\/\/fphighimpactpractices.org\/briefs\/adolescent-responsive-contraceptive-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adolescent-responsive health services<\/a>, contraceptive distribution locations and mechanisms, and reliable follow-ups, referrals, and individual counseling. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fphighimpactpractices.org\/briefs\/social-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Social marketing<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fphighimpactpractices.org\/briefs\/family-planning-vouchers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voucher<\/a> partnerships can address financial barriers to services and products.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Instead of simply creating one-off interventions, consider how curricula components will fit together to address CSE over the course of several years<\/strong>.
