Description


The project contributes to addressing barriers to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). It empowers women and girls to advocate for their rights, while strengthening the resilience of health systems in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Honduras, Guyana, and Peru. It focuses on helping indigenous, migrant and afro-descendant populations. Project activities include: (1) increasing capacity of health institutions to provide SRHR, maternal, adolescent girl and women’s health services, based on the primary health care approach; (2) enhancing capacity of national and sub-national government authorities to address inequalities in sexual, reproductive and maternal health and rights-based approach; and (3) strengthening evidence-base data collection to address inequalities in access to sexual, reproductive and maternal health and rights.
