Dream Africa’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) aims to empower women and adolescent girls to make their own SRHR choices, and to improve knowledge of rights and increase access to relevant quality health care services.
Ghana has achieved remarkable improvement in health care services as demonstrated by mortality and morbidity patterns. While this is true for the population level indicators and general population-based statistics, significant challenges still face women and girls due to environmental, social and economic constraints. Women, unmarried women and adolescent girls living in remote, isolated communities suffer from limited access to services and resources impeding their attainment of SRHR.
Dream Africa’s SRHR program objectives will help to ensure Ghana meets its commitment to SDG 2030 Goals by:
- Improving the capacity of existing service providers (including government) to fulfil their SRHR mandate
- Changing attitudes and socio-cultural practices to SRHR at the community and individual level, something Dream Africa is uniquely equipped to achieve
To achieve this, Dream Africa works with governmental, academic and civil society organizations to ensure that national policy and service delivery entities adopt comprehensive approach for SRHRs. From programmatic perspective, interventions will be based on three components: knowledge formulation and Policy coordination, service delivery and outreach. Proposed interventions are linked and integrated into current DAVS programs and will build upon proven methods and approaches.
