The project aims to improve access to abortion and contraceptive services in the context of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which has threatened access to contraception and family planning. This project works to ensure that people most in need have access to sexual and reproductive health and rights services during this critical time. This is done by strengthening the abortion ecosystem to fast track, and support key innovations in abortion and contraceptive care, while helping low-resource countries build workarounds that help de-medicalize and streamline abortion care across the ecosystem. This includes supporting health facilities that are already under stress by the demands of the global pandemic. The project expects to benefit women who are the most marginalized, including those who are disabled, migrants, Indigenous, poor, young, those lacking literacy skills, etc.
