The proposed amendment would help to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on the SRHR of women and adolescent girls in Indonesia by implementing activities to improve the capacity of the health system to provide gender-responsive SRH information and services in the current context of a pandemic, thus increasing the utilization of those services.

Project activities include: (1) advocating to government at local, state or national levels, as well as to non-governmental decision-makers, in order for them to enact policy or legislative change and to implement these changes; (2) delivering sexual and reproductive health and rights services paired with advocacy; and (3) increasing awareness of sexual and reproductive health and rights, including the right to be free from sexual and gender-based violence, within communities, schools, and in public awareness campaigns to promote national dialogue on the barriers to those rights and the need for change.

High level cost estimates will be prepared for the whole network plan, which will support our community to budget and seek additional capital funding to support implementation efforts.
4. Two rounds of engagement throughout the project will provide opportunities for both broad community engagement with members, and focused engagement with key stakeholder which will include public works, community elders, Chief and Council.

This project aims to support a range of countries experiencing fragility, conflict, and violence to improve the quality and gender-responsiveness of their education systems and better address the health-related barriers that impede girls’ and adolescent girls’ access to quality education and learning, including for those with disabilities. This project is implemented by the World Bank in collaboration with the Global Financing Facility (GFF).

The five main areas of icddr’b’s work are: 1) innovative research to identify low-cost solutions to public health problems in poor countries; 2) implementation and scale-up of proven public health interventions; 3) policy impact through delivering evidence for effective health strategies and policy interventions; 4) humanitarian action (including hospitals and laboratories, disease outbreak responses and training); and 5) the Matlab Demographic Surveillance site, the world’s most comprehensive and longest running longitudinal population study, which is also a testing ground for research on global vaccines, community health care delivery, reducing maternal mortality and malnutrition, the identification of emerging diseases, and the effects of environmental and socio-cultural factors on health.
