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)
