Funded by the Foreign Ministry of the Netherlands for the period between 2016-2020, the project strives to improve the SRHR-HIV outcomes for migrants, adolescents and young people (AYP) and sex workers (SW) in migration affected communities.
The collaborative work specifically aims to create demand for SRH HIV services through provision of access to information for influencing positive behavioural change on SRH decisions while facilitating supply of and accessibility to responsive services through strengthening institutions, taking into account the unique needs of the population in the context of high migration dynamics. At the same time the project works to create platforms for dialogue in addressing the structural barriers to improved service provision through mobilizing traditional and religious leaders as well as local, national and regional stakeholders.

The project contributes to improving health outcomes among migrants, Adolescents and Young people (AYPs) and Sex workers (SWs) and migration-affected communities by promoting positive healthy sexual relationships that can contribute to reducing new HIV infections and improving Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) indicators by reducing the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI), teenage pregnancy, the maternal mortality rate (MMR), unmet need for family planning (FP), increasing the use of modern contraception and greater freedom of choice about sexuality.
The program responds to critical gaps and weaknesses in the SRHR response at regional and country level by strengthening the community-based response to HIV and SRH in the targeted migration affected communities. One of the challenges experienced is individuals who fail to follow up on treatment owing to challenges related to human mobility and migration.
