Purpose

This project aims to achieve more equal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for women, adolescents and children, especially those in vulnerable or marginalized situations. The project will be implemented in partnership with Avocats sans frontières Canada. The main activities are 1) technical and material support for mobile outreach and delocalized health services, 2) training for primary health care providers, including community and outreach health care providers, particularly in family planning and the prevention/management of gender-based violence, 3) awareness-raising among women and adolescent girls on the concepts of good sexual health practices, and 4) technical assistance to institutions and organizations in the planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of SRHR policies and programs. The project will reach more than 1,151,983 women and adolescents directly and 5,010,826 people indirectly.
