Reproduktive Gesundheit und Pandemie Resilienz Reproductive health and pandemic resilience Die Bedürfnisse junger Frauen und Mädchen, wie auch die Unterstützung von Paaren bei der sicheren Planung von Schwangerschaften und der Inanspruchnahme von Diensten zu Familienplanung (FP) und sexueller und reproduktiver Gesundheit und Rechte (SRGR) werden adressiert. Projektziel ist: Die Nutzung von pandemieangepassten, qualitativ verbesserten integrierten SRGR-Dienstleistungen und Informationen inklusive Beratung und Erstversorgung für Oper sexualisierter Gewalt ist erhöht. Die Maßnahmen umfassen u. a. Sensibilisierung und Aufklärung in einer Kombination aus sozialer, verhaltensändernder und interpersoneller Kommunikation. Jugendliche werden über angepasste Maßnahmen (Foren für Jugendliche und Mädchen, Menstruationsgesundheit und -hygiene) erreicht. Gesundheitspersonal und politische Akteure werden unterstützt und evidenzbasierte Lobbyarbeit hilft das Angebot an FP-Methoden zu vervollständigen sowie durch politische Unterstützung die Akzeptanz und Finanzierung von SRG-Gütern nachhaltig zu verbessern. Durch Integration von SRGR Thematiken in öffentlichen Gesundheitseinrichtungen, wie die Nachsorge von Schwangerschaftsabbrüchen, das HPV-Screening, die Prävention sexualisierter und genderbasierter Gewalt (GBV) bzw. die Leistungserbringung für GBV Opfer, wird die Pandemieresilienz der Zielgruppe erhöht und Risiken für Frauen und Mädchen reduziert, die durch Krisensituationen, wie die COVID-19 Pandemie hervorgerufen werden. Zielgruppe sind Personen mit Fokus auf junge Frauen und Mädchen im zwischen 15-19 Jahren, Jugendliche und Personen marginalisierter Gruppen, wie aus einkommensschwachen Haushalten, Menschen mit Behinderungen und GBV Opfer. Sekundäre Zielgruppe sind religiöse und traditionelle Führer und politische Akteure, private und staatliche Anbieter von Gesundheitsdiensten und Gesundheitspersonal. Das 3-jährige Programm wird in fünf Bundesstaaten umgesetzt: Kebbi, Zamfara und Katsina im Nord-Westen sowie Adamawa und Taraba im Nord-Osten Nigerias. The project addresses the needs of young women and girls as well as supporting women and couples to safely plan pregnancies and access family planning (FP) and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services. The objective of the project is: The use of pandemic-adapted, quality-improved integrated SRGR services and information, including counselling and primary care, for sexual violence victims is increased. Interventions include, but are not limited to, awareness raising and educational activities using a combination of social, behaviour changing and interpersonal communication. Adolescents will be reached through interventions tailored to respective target groups (forums for adolescents and girls, menstrual health and hygiene). Health workers and health ministries will be supported, and evidence-based advocacy will be used to help to complete the range of FP methods, as well as to sustainably improve the acceptance and politically supported funding of SRH commodities. Integrating special SRHR topics, such as post-abortion care, cervical cancer screening, prevention of sexual and gender-based violence (GBV), or support for GBV victims will increase the pandemic resilience of the target population and will reduce risks to women and girls, particularly those caused by crises situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, public health facilities are also to be supported in pandemic preparedness and response.The target group are individuals from the project region with focus on young women and girls aged 15-19, adolescents and people from marginalised groups such as from low-income households, person with disabilities and GBV victims. Secondary target groups include religious and traditional leaders and political actors, private and public health service providers and health workers. The 3-year program will be implemented in five states: Kebbi, Zamfara and Katsina in the north-west, and Adamawa and Taraba in the north-east of Nigeria.
