暂无%X The population in the Central African Republic is relatively young, with youths accounting for 43% of its total population, many of whom are sexually active.  Young people suffer from a variety of problems such as unemployment, juvenile delinquency, as well as early and unwanted pregnancies.  To reach out to young people, the ACABEF, in cooperation with the Ministry of Public Health and with financial assistance from the UN Population Fund, launched the ¿Youth Club for Family Planning¿ in December 1994. The major activities in this sensitization campaign for responsible sexuality among the youth included talks and debates, as well as film projections.  In addition, condoms are made available through a social marketing program in order to contain the spread of sexually transmitted diseases including HIV/AIDS.
