Linkage and integration of SRHR and HIV
and AIDS
The need for linkage and integration of
sexual and reproductive health and rights
(SRHR) and HIV & AIDS in the framework of
strengthened health systems is increasingly
recognized. We support efforts of promo-
ting the linkage of SRHR with HIV & AIDS
for example through operational research,
conceptual work, training and capacity
development.
Young people as a target group most in
need
Among the focal target groups in our work
are young people who are very important
both in vulnerability and numbers but lack
access to information and services. We have
a sound experience in numerous countries
in the development of information and
communication approaches and interven-
tions that are gender-sensitive and tailored
to young people’s needs. evaplan has also
conducted operational research on young
people’s sexual and reproductive health
needs in various countries and cultural
contexts.
