Agreement Number:

7465565 P013180001

Agreement Value:

$7,886,330.00

Agreement Date:

Mar 4, 2025 - Mar 31, 2030

Description:

This project seeks to support a resilient health system to respond to adolescent sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) needs in select communities in Dinajpur and Netrokona Districts of Bangladesh. It takes a comprehensive approach to advancing SRHR by going beyond health services to address gendered inequalities, discriminatory social norms and institutional structures. These structures limit access to sexual and reproductive health services and promotion of SRHR in Bangladesh. Project activities include: (1) providing training on environmentally safe, gender-responsive, and adolescent-friendly sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and supportive supervision to health facility workers; (2) training community health workers on gender-sensitive and adolescent-friendly SRH or maternal, newborn and child health services. These services include family planning, sexual and gender based violence, referrals, men’s engagement, and healthy behaviours; (3) launching a psychosocial care program to guide adolescents in decision-making, psychosocial health and SRH, and gender based violence (GBV), and provide mental health referrals; (4) supporting local communities to undertake community-led action plans to address community-specific SRHR barriers and concerns, including child, early, forced marriage, gender-based violence and teen pregnancies; and (5) supporting the promotion of adolescent friendly comprehensive sexuality education, including GBV issues and a welcoming and safe school environment for all adolescents in local schools. The project directly seeks to reach an estimated 210,937 people and 450,000 indirectly.
