Through our Ibis Africa Regional Strategy and work, Ibis plans to broaden and expand its work to better respond to sexual reproductive health services (SRHR) issues in a way that address priorities, needs, and lived realities in the Africa region. Our partners include advocates, policymakers, and reproductive health service-delivery organizations working in a variety of contexts. Our work aims to expand and transform access to sexual health and reproductive services. In addition, Ibis aims to increase access to comprehensive sexuality information. The mmoho campaign is a key project in expanding SRHR information. Mmoho aims to expand access for young people to sexual reproductive health information and services including access to contraception and safe abortion services, gender-based violence and HIV and AIDS.

As an AMAZE regional lead partner, Ibis through the mmoho campaign will coordinate and expand the use, development, adaptation, and dissemination of AMAZE videos and resources for young people in sub-Saharan Africa.

The Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Alliance Uganda is a consortium of organisations that stand for and promote young people’s SRHR. We are organisations with a strong niche, expertise, and experience in key aspects of SRHR programming for vulnerable and marginalised groups of adolescents and young people. Our work is to ensure that all young people have access to high quality youth-friendly, SRHR information and services within a safe and supportive environment.

SRHR Alliance Uganda’s partnership with AMAZE is to ensure that young people, especially the young adolescents, have access to accurate and age appropriate Fertility Awareness SRHR information, through fun, innovative and engaging avenues. Together, with AMAZE, the SRHR Alliance Uganda created two new animations and also had the opportunity to adapt two others to the Ugandan context. These animated works have been disseminated through various avenues such as mainstream media, digital media, and through peer learning sessions in and out of schools.

Prayas (Initiatives in Health, Energy, Learning and Parenthood) is a non-governmental, non-profit organization based in Pune, India. Prayas Health Group (PHG) works mainly in the area of sexuality and HIV/AIDS. PHG is committed to generating evidence-based discourse on emerging sexual and reproductive health and rights issues. It works towards taking scientific evidence to communities in a simple, sensitive, non-judgmental, empowering and effective manner. PHG is actively involved in providing clinical care to people living with HIV, programmatic interventions, socio-behavioural and epidemiological research, awareness building, and policy advocacy. Basing our work on a more affirmative and rights-based approach, we engage in understanding the sexual and reproductive health needs of populations, especially youth, and work towards improving people’s access to accurate information, non-judgmental services, and building their agency to make informed decisions.

We are collaborating with AMAZE to adopt the videos in Marathi and Hindi and increase Indian adolescents’ access to sexuality education. Most adolescents in India do not receive comprehensive sexuality education in schools. Parents and educators often find it challenging to initiate conversations and avoid broaching topics. The Amaze videos in Marathi and Hindi are expected to bridge this gap by giving direct open access to adolescents and adults.
