JOB DESCRIPTION
Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are still inadequate in Tanzania. Sexual self-determination of women, especially when young and unmarried, is limited.

It advises the national Ministry of Health, supports regional and municipal health offices, supports health facilities and trains staff. Together with local partners, it educates young people on sexual development, reproductive health and their rights. In addition to SRHR, the project is also active in mother-child health and system strengthening. The project tests new approaches to care in the Tanga region and contributes implementation experiences to the policy dialogue.
