The program seeks to support the full domestication and translation into practice of continental commitments, forged collectively by African States.
This is to enhance the sexual and reproductive health and realize the rights of all, including young people and women, in pursuit of the aspirations of Agenda 2063 and development that leaves no one behind.
The aim of the CPSE program is to act as a critical and neutral knowledge partner to the constellation of actors working towards the full domestication and implementation of continental commitments on sexual and reproductive health, and the rights of Africa’s young people and women.
As a knowledge partner, CPSE will work to support these actors in developing and deploying effective, evidence-based advocacy, specifically on three focal SRHR issues:
1) The sexual and reproductive health and the rights of adolescents;
2) Access to safe abortion and post-abortion care; and
3) The discrimination of marginalized sexual and gender minority groups.
Project Approach
CPSE’s work is anchored on partnerships with key government and civil society bodies at the regional and sub-regional levels, in Eastern, Southern and Western Africa in seven countries: Kenya, Rwanda, Zambia, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, and Liberia.
Across these geographies, CPSE encompasses three key pillars of work, namely:
The APHRC seeks to recruit a Policy Officer to work in the CPSE project within the Policy Engagement and Communications Division.

Externally, the officer will work closely with national parliaments, Civil Society Organizations, UN agencies such UNFPA, WHO; regional economic groups such as EAC, EALA, SADC PF and ECOWAS/WAHO among others.
