Expression of Interest for the Development of the Mobile E-Learning Platform on Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) for Young Women at Non-governmental Gender Organisation Coordinating Council

1.1 Background

Despite the many efforts on SRHR being undertaken in the Country, girl’s and women’s issues are still high on the agenda. Child marriage and teenage pregnancies are still high while Gender based violence is still rife. It is against this background that NGOCC formed the Young Women’s Networks (YWN) in its operational areas across the ten Provinces of Zambia. They were formed to provide an environment where the young women feel safe enough to share their issues around SRHR and preventive measures. The YWN also seeks to strengthen the young people’s individual and collective voices and mobilise people in communities for prevention of child marriages. The YWN are further raising more awareness on adolescent sexual reproductive health issues and on-going liaison among young people, further increasing the knowledge on SRHR among them.

It is for this reason that it has become imperative to create an online platform to enable the YWN broaden the scope of their interactions and interventions.
