Under Work Package 3, we are working on innovations to develop novel products, systems, apps, and analytics for diverse populations, considering their SRHR needs. Currently, AdSEARCH is testing more than 20 innovations with a total grant of $3 million CAD, making it the largest SRHR innovation hub in Bangladesh. Most of these innovations come from young minds and include a wide range of ideas from ICT-based solutions and technological innovations to behaviour, process, and health systems modifications.
