Key Highlights and Achievements

The Senior Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Officer from PLAN Foundation delivered an update on the progress of the Eliminating Multiple Barriers to Sexual and Reproductive Health Services Among Young Girls and Women with Disabilities (EMBASSY) Project.

A key achievement presented was the development and printing of Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) training manuals, which are now ready for distribution. These manuals serve as vital tools to guide inclusive SRH education and service provision across the project areas.
