Activity Background

Through our commitment towards advancing Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights and in partnership with AmplifyChange we launched an eighteen-month project named: Enabling Environment for Accessing SRHR Services and Information Among Adolescents in Rwanda.

The project was designed to expand access to SRHR information and services for adolescents and young people, particularly girls, in Rwanda. The initiative aimed to address challenges related to social norms, stigma, and limited access to affordable menstrual products. It focused on increasing awareness and education, improving access to menstrual products, reducing stigma, and driving policy change. By promoting open discussions, reducing school absenteeism, and advocating for systemic changes, the project sought to enhance SRHR outcomes for girls and women in Rwanda.

With project implementation coming to an end, IMRO Rwanda seeks to conduct a comprehensive Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) process. This will assess the project's effectiveness, efficiency, and impact while identifying key achievements, challenges, and lessons learned. The evaluation will provide evidence-based insights to enhance future programming and ensure the sustainability of project outcomes.
