AdSEARCH invites the Think-Tanks
The Think-Tanks: a forum of experts representing different organizations with specific focus on the Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) issues and whose expertise is complementary to icddr,b. AdSEARCH formed this heterogenous group (representation of both male-female and GoB-NGO) for assuring transparency and accountability; equity, equality and non-discrimination; participation and inclusion issues within the project. On April 10th, 2022 the experts gathered for the initial meeting at icddr,b office premises. The forum included experts on SRHR and related themes e.g. family planning, abortion, post-abortion care, infertility, STI/RTIs, and reproductive cancers and maternal and neonatal health. The group provided their guidance to implement AdSEARCH’s research agenda. The project team introduced AdSEARCH to the forum along multiple project components. A total of 18 participants from different organisations joined the meeting.
