Description:

This project aims to improve sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) outcomes for marginalized or vulnerable women and girls (W&G) in six districts of Central Sulawesi and Papua, in partnership with the Indonesian authorities, the women's organization Aisyiyah and the Indonesian Family Planning Association (PKBI). The expected results of the project include: (1) improved delivery of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care in facilities and communities for W&G; (2) increased utilization of quality health care, particularly SRH by W&G, including those who are marginalized or vulnerable. These results will be achieved through key project activities: (a) gender-sensitive training of healthcare providers at the puskesmas (health center) level, including on SRHR issues, emergency obstetric and neonatal care, family planning, post-abortion care, female genital care, gender-based violence and nutrition for mothers and girls; (b) creating or rehabilitating infrastructure, e.g. equipping selected puskesmas and creating mobile and satellite clinics for hard-to-reach communities ; (c) capacity-building and support for F&F, including those who are marginalized or vulnerable, in SRHR; (d) gender-sensitive training of community leaders on gender issues, for example by organizing community forums aimed at better dialogue between F&F and local power-holders, or by training religious and traditional leaders; (e) raising awareness of gender issues among boys, men and parents. The project will directly affect 420,000 people, and indirectly all 1.7 million people in the six districts.
