    The South Asia Region (SAR) is home to an estimated 350 million adolescents (30% of the world’s adolescent population). It’s nearly 20% of this region’s 1.8 billion population. Given the data, this region predicts that adolescents will continue to be a significant proportion of South Asia’s population. It's imperative that adolescent health programming be given attention by health development partners. In order to reach this objective, the U-Report platform is looked at by UNICEF, Country Offices and the regional office for South Asia. It is a conduit for the development of a series of polls with a focus on adolescent health and well-being. It is based on adolescent health literacy needs and evidence-generation needs regarding young people’s self-reported knowledge, practices and perceptions through polling. U-Report is an online tool to communicate and share issues that matter to young people. It allows them from any community and the world to respond to polls, and become positive agents of change. Once joined in the U-Report community they are able to take polls and share young people’s issues and voices with other young people and policymakers. www.southasia.ureport.in
