Breakthrough ACTION is currently conducting a desk review to learn more about what has been done to date to foster inclusion of SGM individuals and communities in global FP/RH programming implemented in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), as well as what more is needed to advance this work. The project will also conduct an online survey of relevant organizations in early 2023 to fill in any gaps and gain deeper insights to complement desk review findings. The assessment findings and results (desk review, online survey) will be used to inform a multi-day virtual learning series.
Breakthrough ACTION is currently seeking a consultant, team of consultants, or organization to co-lead the development and execution of a multi-day virtual learning series with a diverse audience of global donors, practitioners, researchers, advocates, and activists. The virtual learning series is a critical part of the co-creation process for the guidance document on how to integrate SGM youth experiences, needs, and priorities into the design and implementation of youth-focused SBC for FP/RH programming.
