1. Background

The Reproductive Health Education for the Marginalized (RHE4M) Project is a collaborative initiative between the Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG) and CAMFED Ghana, aimed at improving access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) information and services among young girls and women in selected districts of Ghana. The project is implemented in three districts — Abura Asebu Kwamankese (AAK) District (Central Region), Bole District (Savanna Region), and Sekyere East District (Ashanti Region). The project is a six (6) month pilot intervention for possible expansion.

The project addresses barriers such as inadequate SRHR information, limited access to youth-friendly health services, stigma, and sociocultural factors that hinder marginalized populations from exercising their sexual and reproductive rights. The project deployed the following key strategies to address the barriers highlighted; Peer Education, CSE education in school and out of school, Sports and Dance drama, carried out social and behavior change communication (SBCC), Large/small group activities (Health screening), inter-generational dialogues and Radio programs.

As the project draws to a close, PPAG intends to conduct an End-Line Evaluation to 1. Determine whether the project achieved its intended objectives and results 2. Provide insights and lessons to guide future programming, planning, and policy decisions.3. Examine how well resources (time, money, staff) were used to achieve the outcomes. All these are to ascertain the level of progress made towards achieving the goal of the project compared to the baseline and to document the best practices.FINAL RHE4M TERMS OF REFERENCE
