From 2018–2023, USAID’s Accelerating Universal Access to Family Planning Project, also known as Shukhi Jibon in Bangladesh, reached 1.3 million adolescents across four geographic divisions with family planning information and services. Underpinning this work are innovative community-based initiatives implemented by Shukhi Jibon’s six experienced local partners to increase young people’s ability to exercise their right to sexual and reproductive health care.
This brief highlights activities and results driven by local partners to improve point-of-care readiness and young people’s access to adolescent- and youth-friendly services. Together with the government of Bangladesh, Shukhi Jibon’s local partners have helped enable young individuals and couples to make informed decisions about their SRH behaviors and care, leading to improved health, well-being, and opportunities for Bangladesh’s youth.
