Bridging the knowledge gap: accessibility of SRHR information, services and competences of health facilities for adolescents and their care givers in rural Eastern Uganda
This study highlights significant gaps in access to SRHR and SGBV services, with limited awareness on SRHR/SGBV and inadequate reporting of SGBV cases due to stigma. Strengthening community support systems, enhancing SRHR/SGBV service delivery, and building capacity for youth- friendly programs are essential. Additionally, robust monitoring frameworks are needed to track progress and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
