Leaving no woman or girl behind: Advancing the learning agenda on SRHR self-care in humanitarian settings
WORUDET is implementing She Cares, a two-year SRHR project (2022-2024) in partnership with IRC and ACORD Uganda. The project will use research, implementation and advocacy approaches to pilot self-care in SRHR in Palabek refugee settlement and the surrounding host communities in Lamwo district. She Cares will focus on adolescent girls and young women in humanitarian settings, giving them the power to achieve their sexual & reproductive health and rights.
The She Cares project will achieve this goal through:
- Designing, implementing and generating evidence on innovative SRHR self-care interventions in refugee settings.
- Contributing to a locally-led movement for self-care that serves the unique needs of displaced populations in the country.
WORUDET’s extensive portfolio of SRHR programming focuses on service delivery accountability, community engagement and grassroot-led advocacy. We specialize in forming and supporting community SRHR advocacy teams that conduct evidence gathering, problem identification and advocacy to hold both leaders and service providers accountable to meeting SRHR service commitments and quality standards.
With the She Cares project, WORUDET is committed to self-care awareness raising and demand generation, the monitoring of self-care program quality, ensuring strong continuity of care between the facility and individual clients, and piloting of community models for self-care. This targeted and strategic effort aims to strengthen the health system’s ability to increase access and innovate new ways for self-care products to be made available to the most vulnerable – including displaced adolescent clients.
