Objective
Focused on investments to transform service design and delivery and to strengthen the development and implementation of equitable and sustainable movements, ANSRHRA is a new initiative to support gender-transformative implementation research in sub-Saharan Africa. It will contribute to improved sexual and reproductive health and realization of rights while also building systems and structures that enable and support under-served populations, including women and girls, to demand and benefit from the full spectrum of SRHR.
The initiative’s overall aim is to support greater realization of neglected SRHR by under-served populations, including women and girls, in sub-Saharan Africa.
Eligibility
Teams must be composed as follows:
- PI: researcher based in a sub-Saharan African country
- Co-PI: senior member of a civil-society organization
- Co-PI: Canadian researcher
- Co-investigator(s): local decision-maker(s)
