We Care

Strengthening Sexual Reproductive Health services provided by health care workers at the local level in Bangladesh

The aim of this project is to equip service providers working at union level, in communities, schools and their supervisors with the ability, attitudes and motivation to provide inclusive SRH/R services and information. This will be achieved through the integration of evidence-informed, rights based and gender transformative SRHR approaches into the core curricula of these health workers and their supervisors.

The focus of the project includes Family Welfare Visitors (FWV), Family Welfare Assistants (FWA), Sub-Assistant Community Medical Officers (SACMOs) and their supervisors (Family Planning Inspectors and Mother and Child Health Medical Officers).

Project Objective: Universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SDG 3 and 5).

Key elements in “We Care”:

• Integration of evidence-informed, rights-based and gender-transformative approaches to SRH/R in the core curricula of union/ward level service and information providers.
• Improved supervision and support for these providers.
• Alignment with other SRHR stakeholders and mutual learning

Project timeline: 1 July 2019 – 30 December 2021
