Abstract
WHO and its UN collaboration agencies have recognized the needs to understand boys' health and development. Boys often suffer a higher burden of mortality and morbidity due to risk taking behaviours. Gender analysis reveals that the behaviour of boys often has significant effects upon the health and development of girls. Boys are as diverse as their female counterparts and require specific interventions to address their needs. Examples of programmes which targets boys, and some programmes which target both boys and girls are given as examples to provide a foundation from which to futher develop interventions to serve this important population.
