12.10.2020

Empowering vulnerable adolescents in Africa: the EU launches a €30.5 million call for proposals to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights of adolescent girls and other vulnerable adolescents in Africa in the framework of the intra-ACP Programme to strengthen health systems for universal health coverage.

The specific objectives of this call for proposals are:

  • to improve demand and access to comprehensive, integrated, affordable, quality, discrimination-free, age-appropriate SRHR information and services in (eligible) African countries, with a particular focus on reaching adolescent girls and vulnerable (out of school, poor, marginalized/discriminated, disabled, under-served) adolescents.
  • to strengthen public and community health systems to provide these information and services.
  • to promote an enabling legal, political and societal environment that allows adolescents, especially girls and vulnerable adolescents, to access the quality SRH (sexual and reproductive health) services they need, and protects their sexual and reproductive rights.
  • Information on the guidelines and how to apply is published on the EuropeAid website.

The application deadline is 26 November 2020 at 12:00 (Brussels date and time).
