Description
1) Objective
DRC’s Global Health division is launching this anticipatory call for select countries in Africa for implementation research[1] projects to reduce knowledge gaps related to adolescent sexual and reproductive health (ASRH), strengthen capacities in implementation research and generate evidence to inform policymaking and promote innovative solutions tailored to the unique challenges faced by each country.
Specific objectives are:
- Support locally led implementation research projects to address country-specific adolescent sexual and reproductive health priorities by generating high quality, actionable evidence related to implementing effective, gender-responsive adolescent sexual and reproductive health programs and services in selected countries in Africa.
- Increase knowledge sharing and collaborative learning exchange within and across countries on successful innovations in implementing ASRH programs and effective, gender-responsive strategies to improve the health and wellbeing of adolescents.
- Strengthen in-country capacity for evidence production, translation and timely use to inform gender-responsive decisions by policymakers in the government and civil society sectors responsible for adolescent health program implementation and outcomes.
- Integrate a strong gender lens in the generation, translation and use of the evidence base to respond to the special needs of girls and boys and improve adolescent sexual and reproductive health in Africa.
