The project contributes to fulfilling goal 1.1 in the Africa SRHR strategy, which is about increasing respect for and enjoyment of SRHR for everyone, and goal 1.3, which relates to strengthening the conditions for increased accountability for SRHR. The overall objective of the SADC PF project is to promote access and rights to SRHR in southern Africa and promote universal health coverage. The project proposal identify six thematic focus areas during the three-year period: 1) Ensuring access to SRHR products within the framework of Universal Health Coverage; 2) Promoting the integration of gender equality in, among other things, climate measures and the elimination of sexual and gender-related violence; 3) Abolishing child marriage, early and unintended pregnancies (EUP) and promote safe abortion; 4) Promote sexuality education and the right to information about SRHR, 5) Protect key populations and marginalized groups; and 6) Promote democratic accountability and promote human rights. The project takes its starting point in the results of a first phase carried out in 2014-2018 and a second phase carried out in 2019¬2023, which has laid the foundation for the continued project. Within the framework of the project, it has been identified that there is still a need to improve the basic health of citizens. There is also still a need to uphold and respect human rights and ensure that SRHR can benefit everyone in the SADC region. The evaluation that was done at the end of the last phase shows that results have been achieved, among other things, new SRHR legislation has come into being at regional and national level and the budget for SRHR/health has increased. However, it also shows that much remains to be done, and above all in the more sensitive areas: LGBTQI, access to safe abortion and sex education.

Result
The vision of the project is: Universal access to integrated SRHR and HIV/AIDS services and related rights, including bringing forward social change, gender-responsive climate action, improved health and respect for human rights that are enjoyed by all in the SADC region within a framework that is conducive to democratic accountability. Due to the structure and role of SADC PF, the objectives that will contribute to this vision reflect the parliamentary roles of MPs in promoting SRHR within national parliaments and as part of the SADC PF. The seven outcomes are: 1. SADC PF and its relevant Parliamentary committees manage and monitor the Project effectively, 2. Parliaments enact targeted SRHR and HIV/AIDS related legislation by standalone SRHR Bills, amendments to existing laws, secondary legislation e.g. legislation promoting gender equality and climate response, safe abortion, CSE, commodity security, and eliminating child marriage and SGBV, 3. Parliaments consistently vote for enhanced SRHR budgets which promote the delivery of universal SRHR, HIV/AIDS services, implement SDGs 3 and 5, and promote gender-responsive budgeting and Universal Health Coverage, 4. Parliaments exercise increased leadership, oversight and representation leading to transparency and accountability of the Government and state institutions on the implementation of SRHR measures, mainstreaming of gender, elaboration of safe abortion programs, CSE commitments, abolition of child marriage and protection of Key populations, 5. Inter-parliamentary networks are coordinated by the SADC-PF, resulting in domestication of SRHR norms in Model Laws and treaties and strengthened tracking of commitments by Governments, including those at SADC level and Africa Agenda 2063, 6. Increased efficiency and utilization of empirical SRHR research by the institution of Parliament leading to capacitation and enhanced interventions by MPs, and 7. Parliamentarians promote good governance and anti-corruption frameworks, and advance human rights to consolidate democratic accountability which is a basis for the advancement of the interconnected right to health inclusive of SRHR whilst aligning on regional and international treaties, Africa Agenda 2063 and the SDGs.
