Case Studies
We have identified case studies from South Asia and West Africa that illustrate the diversity of strategies needed to ensure resilient SRHR in a changing climate. These range from advocacy to service delivery to innovative financing instruments. The case studies were identified through global surveys distributed to key stakeholders, email lists, and direct outreach. Case studies were then refined through in-depth interviews with the implementing organizations.
Most of these programs are still “in-flight,” as of October 2025. We hope that these examples serve as solutions-oriented inspiration for further investment and innovation to achieve a future where people of all genders can thrive.
