STRONGER: Resilient Health Systems for SRHR is a seven-year, CAD 31,499,999 initiative funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and implemented by ADRA Canada in partnership with ADRA Cambodia, ADRA Kenya, and ADRA Philippines. The project seeks to enhance the equal enjoyment of the rights of adolescent girls and women (AGW) to be free from gender-based violence (GBV), including child, early and forced marriage (CEFM), in Cambodia, Kenya, and the Philippines. Through a multi-sectoral, community-led, and gender-transformative approach, STRONGER aims to strengthen the quality and governance of GBV-responsive health systems, build AGW’s agency in rights protection, and reduce harmful gender norms and practices that perpetuate violence and inequality.

Return to topThe project will operate in diverse geographic and socio-political contexts to address both systemic and community-level barriers to SRHR and GBV prevention. STRONGER is expected to achieve the following intermediate outcomes: 1) Increased use of quality GBV-focused health services among AGW; 2) Strengthened agency in community-led rights protection among AGW affected by or at risk of GBV, including CEFM; and 3) Strengthened governance of the multi-sectoral health system response to GBV (including CEFM) by health system actors.
Project activities are designed to foster sustainable change by:
• Enhancing the capacity of public and private health facility staff in psychosocial support, with a focus on survivor-centered SRHR services;
• Providing data-driven advocacy training to improve the use of evidence in decision-making at local and national levels;
• Embedding Community-Led Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability, and Learning (CoLMEAL) approaches to enhance local ownership, responsiveness, and multi-level learning across the project cycle; and
• Supporting the integration of GBV outreach services—such as GBV Community Help Desks—into existing community-based health and protection mechanisms.
