Counterpart 506987 (give useful name) The project aims at empowering youth of 13-24 years especially girls to provide them access to information, empower them for decision making and claiming SRH rights in four districts of Pakistan. The Outcomes determined are; engagement of youth through institutional development and active citizenship to make a shift from doing for youth to doing with youth and doing by youth. Influencing legislatures and relevant stakeholders including media to improve and reinforce policy frame on  SRHR issues, capacity building and raising awareness of youth, care takers , gatekeepers and media
The project will be measured against defined indicators in the logic model i.e. number of Youth lead organizations, groups and agencies are strengthened and supported; number of discussions at vertical and horizontal level and number of initiatives taken to sensitize relevant stakeholders.
A youth led strategy is proposed to implement the project. It is suggested that Youth Advisory Board  shall be strengthened through formation of district youth groups. These district youth groups will be connected with in and out  school youth forum in each four locations of project separately for girls and boys (13  16 and 17 to 24 years )to provide them a forum for open discussion and developing confidence to discourse of sexual and reproductive health issues and rights. These forums will be strengthening through different interventions of training, capacity building, and reverse education activities, connecting them with caretakers and gate keepers on SRH rights. The youth groups willbe connected with the YAB to develop horizontal (district level) and vertical (provincial and national level) linkages of the youthwith duty bearers and caretakers / gatekeepers. A comprehensive training and capacity building endeavours shall support the projectactors. The trained cadre of journalists and drama writers will also be connected with the youth groups to discourse about SRHR issues in their local context to highlight these issues through their articles and drama writing in local language. This whole communication, educational and organizational process will lead to bridge the gap, enhance opportunities of learning by doing on SRHR, increase understanding on child protection issues and practices of safe guarding children from risk of abuse, neglect and exploitation amongst youth groups, care takers and gate keepers.
As a result, understanding of SRHR issues among different stakeholders will be improved and actions taken by the care takers, gate keepers and adolescents will contribute in behavioural change process of the targetcommunities. Predominantly media can expand the impact of behaviour change process .The media can contribute to inform and disseminate awareness related to SRHR by using radio and local cable network for dissemination of SRHR messages, article, drama scripts, editorial and features etc. Similarly desk review and secondary research will support in lobbying and campaigning at provincial level. Capacity of the care takers, gate keepers and adolescence in reproductive health rights and chid protection will be enhanced throughseries of interventions.
Lack of mainstreaming of youth driven initiatives for influencing the legislation and SRHR implementation will be mitigated through empowering youth groups and agencies to implement advocacy campaigns in their local and contextual scenarios. The meaningful engagement with concerned public sector organizations will be ensured by engaging them in a dialogue on differentSRHR issues pertaining to legislation, policy transformation and its implementation. This whole evidence based advocacy campaigns will influence the decision makers for SRHR related legislation and implementation at provincial level with active engagement of youth.
