Description


The Autonomisation Femmes / Adolescentes des communautés du Tchologo (ACT-Femmes) project aims to promote the empowerment and rights of vulnerable women and adolescents (F/A) in the Tchologo region in northern Côte d’Ivoire. The aim is to give them sustainable access to services that respond directly to their needs in terms of sexual and reproductive health (SRH), mother and child health (MCH), mental health, psychosocial support and protection (SMPS-P). Over a period of 5 years, this project aims to mobilise F/A, particularly through women’s organisations, to strengthen their capacity to lobby political and traditional authorities for the full exercise of their rights and increased access to quality SRH/MCH/SMPS-P services.
