Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights

About the working group

The working group aims to contribute to a better sexual and reproductive health in all countries where Belgian development actors or those supported by Belgium intervene. As specific objective, it wants to facilitate the implementation of the policy note SRHR and this in the broader framework of the general health policy note. Towards this end, the working group develops tools on SRHR and HIV which can be used in the different phases in the cyclus of development programmes, from the negotiations until the evaluation.

The activities of the working group conform to the three priorities of the Belgian Development Cooperation:

1. the integration of sexual and reproductive health care in general health care services,
2. the fight against sexual violence and other related malpractices,
3. the sexual and reproductive health care and rights during humanitarian crises, conflicts and peace construction.
