Overview
This grant will help EngenderHealth build its program for sexual and reproductive health and rights in Francophone West Africa. EngenderHealth will collect data and generate evidence, use this evidence to test marketing strategies that would gain broader acceptance for the need for reproductive health services, and develop the clinical capacity of providers in the public sector to deliver critical services such as safe abortion. During this phase of the project EngenderHealth will initially focus activities in Togo, while looking for opportunities to expand activities to other countries in the region.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of safe abortion care in Tanzania and globally
The grant to EngenderHealth will support access to high-quality, gender-equitable, and age-appropriate sexual and reproductive health and rights services, including comprehensive abortion care and postabortion care. The majority of the funding requested will be used for programmatic work in Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania. The remaining funding will support global and country staff time for abortion-related content and advocacy that cannot be covered by other unrestricted funds due to U.S. government funding restrictions. This grant is aligned with the Global Reproductive Equity strategy. (Strategy: Global Reproductive Equity)
