The project will build capacity for SRHR advocacy at the local, national and regional levels to provide quality services related to family planning, abortion, sexual health testing, prenatal care, and sexual and gender-based violence support.
To implement this project, IPPFAR is looking for a Project Advisor who will be responsible for leading and delivering this project.
