In a world in which donors are increasingly oriented towards accountability and “results-based financing”, it becomes ever more important to ensure that the results we define encompass fully informed choice from a range of sexual and reproductive health services that respect and protect rights.
This workshop will explore what “results-based” really means, and identify ways of ensuring that the extent to which services respect and protect rights are at the heart of measuring results. Critical issues, including gender and choice will be discussed from a range of important perspectives, as our speakers will include global leaders from the sexual and reproductive health and rights donor, service provider and advocacy communities.
What
