Abstract
Progress 2024 aims to maintain commitment to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and gender equality. It outlines developments and ongoing initiatives to enhance SRHR and gender equality in Africa. The initiative addresses systemic barriers to gender justice and aims to provide comprehensive SRHR services to all individuals, with a focus on marginalised populations.
Achievements include policy reforms, capacity-building efforts, and partnerships among governments, civil society, and regional organisations. Advocacy has increased awareness and integrated SRHR and gender equality into national and regional development frameworks.
Challenges such as socio-cultural norms, limited funding, and weak implementation of existing policies persist. Nonetheless, the programme emphasises community engagement, youth-led advocacy, and evidence-based approaches to foster change.
