Description
The Addressing Neglected Areas of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in sub-Saharan Africa (ANeSA) initiative is issuing a preannouncement of an upcoming two-stage funding opportunity. The call of Letters of Interest is expected to launch on June 29, 2026. The initiative will support up to six additional Implementation Research Teams, with grants of up to CAD 1.2 million each. Up to 12 teams will be invited to submit full proposals in the second stage.
Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are foundational to people living full, healthy lives in ways that enable them to contribute to prosperous, equitable and sustainable societies. Across the life course, when people can access quality SRHR information and services and have decision-making power to exercise their rights, they can effectively contribute to their wellbeing and that of their families and communities. Respect for SRHR, along with improved access to and delivery of SRHR services, brings both immediate and long-term benefits for health, particularly for reducing inequitable impacts of sexually transmitted infections. It also improves other aspects of life, including education, employment, livelihoods and access to resources such as land, credit and social capital.
