The project’s main beneficiaries are women and girls in the provinces of Nord-Kivu, Sud-Kivu, Haut-Katanga, Tanganyika and Kinshasa. As a result of this initiative, some 500,000 young people, 50% of them women, will receive information on sexual and reproductive health and rights, and at least 8,000 safe abortion procedures will be provided.
