This project aims to improve the equal enjoyment of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) by women and adolescent girls in situations of poverty, marginalization and vulnerability. Project activities include: (1) developing a gender-sensitive social and behavioral change communication strategy with local implementing partners and women's rights organizations (WROs), for the adoption of healthy SRHR behaviors and practices; (2) providing technical assistance to local implementing partner civil society organizations (CSOs) and WROs for organizational capacity building and gender mainstreaming; (3) implementing local solutions to SRHR and nutrition challenges with women, adolescent girls, men and boys; (4) providing comprehensive, skills-based SRHR, wellness, health and development programs for adolescent girls, boys, parents and guardians of adolescents; (5) building the technical capacity of managers and civil servants in the management, analysis, use and contingency planning of sexual and reproductive health, nutrition and community and facility climate data; and (6) providing technical assistance to government officials, health facilities and community health representatives on inclusive governance in the field of sexual and reproductive health and nutrition.

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) improved sexual and reproductive health behaviors and practices of women, men, adolescents and boys, as well as community leaders who support their autonomy and decision-making; (2) increased utilization of sexual and reproductive health services by women and adolescent girls at primary and community care levels; and (3) strengthened equal protection and promotion of sexual and reproductive health and nutrition policies and laws by governments and health service providers.
