Description
This project aims to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for women and adolescent girls in Francophone West Africa, with a particular focus on Cote d’Ivoire. The project seeks to increase access and generate demand for family planning services, while developing and implementing a regional strategy to contribute to improved SRHR for women and adolescent girls. Project activities include: (1) training 200 health care workers to provide quality and youth-friendly health services; (2) establishing and deploying three mobile health units; and (3) conducting events and outreach activities on SRHR, including contraception. An estimated 45,065 women and adolescent girls are expected to benefit from services and outreach activities.
