It also aims to work with local groups, health care providers, and government ministries to build capacity and improve access to high-quality, evidence-based comprehensive Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services for out-of-school adolescents in an inclusive and adolescent-friendly environment. The project is informed by consultation with out-of-school and at-risk adolescents and will work with local organizations and governments to advocate for sustainable transformations in the social, economic, and legal environments so that adolescents, particularly adolescent girls, can more easily access sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services and exercise their sexual and reproductive rights.
