The UN Women is currently accepting submissions for the Promotion of Gender Equality Programme to improve sexual, reproductive, maternal, neonatal, child, and adolescent health and nutrition in Chad and Togo.
In response to these urgent calls for action, the Government of France through the French Muskoka Fund (FFM) is committed to supporting interventions to improve the health, well-being and nutrition of mothers, newborns, children, adolescents and young people in 6 countries: Benin, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Senegal, Chad and Togo.
As part of this project, UN Women’s mandate is to mobilize political decision-makers, CSOs, communities and opinion leaders to drive advocacy for a legal and budgetary environment supporting the promotion of women’s rights and their empowerment. , gender equality and protection against violence against women. A gender approach in favor of the fight against discriminatory social practices and gender-based violence (GBV) will be adopted and particular emphasis will be placed on the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of young girls, through the approach rights and strengthening their access to information, care and psychosocial support for survivors.

Their life. Promoting a life course approach to women’s health also involves recognizing that sex and gender complement social and environmental health factors to influence how health risks and benefits health accumulates throughout life. In this way, gender inequality is explicitly recognized as an important driver of health outcomes, with women and girls often at a social disadvantage.
Aligned with the WCARO Global Strategic Plan and Strategic Note, UN Women’s interventions aim to increase awareness of the influence of gender inequalities on women’s health and to propose ideas to combat them in the context of the SSRMNEA.
