This chapter discusses the importance of collecting and using data to inform, measure, and adjust your adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH) programming, as well as sharing the evidence with others. Data should not be gathered only to be left behind to collect dust. It should be used to take action! As seen throughout the Toolkit, there are many areas in ASRH that further evidence is needed. This chapter provides guidance on how to conduct Data for Action activities—alongside adolescents and youth and throughout the program cycle and humanitarian continuum—to help expand the evidence base for ASRH.
