About the Programme
The Women’s Integrated Sexual Health 2 (WISH 2) programme, funded by the UK government, aims to support women and adolescents, including poor and marginalised people, to have greater say, choice and control over their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).
The programme is divided into two lots, one covering West Africa and
West and Central Africa and East and Southern Africa (ESA). The two lots are implemented separately by different implementing consortia. Options is a sub-partner in both consortia.
The WISH program has two main objectives:
– Outcome 1 : Women and adolescents, including the poor and most marginalized, have greater power, choice and control over their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
– Outcome 2 : Improved enabling environment for sexual and reproductive health and rights and gender equality in the context of an accelerated and inclusive demographic transition led by Africa.
Options supports the implementation of outcome 3 : policy and systemic environment for sexual and reproductive health.
This product will support countries to adopt and implement improved frameworks for more comprehensive SRHR and gender equality coverage, effective public financing, commodity safety and SRHR service capacity.
The focus will be on supporting civil society organisations including people with disabilities, youth organisations and women’s organisations.
