Last 3 years’ achievements have been shared during the workshop. Besides, the team identified and discussed field level challenges and ways to mitigate those challenges by adopting new intervention on youth engagement and community mobilization for the rest of the project period. More focus was given on volunteer engagement and opportunities for their motivation as the 1200 young volunteers are playing a vital role in their respective communities to raise awareness on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender-based violence (GBV) under this project.
