Integrating Digital innovations in Sexual and Reproductive Health Programs: My experience as a Health Specialist

Harnessing digital innovation for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) Digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) are revolutionizing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services globally. From Africa to Europe, I’ve witnessed the potential of these technologies in improving access to and quality of SRHR services. Pioneering chatbots in Kenya In Kenya, I worked in an organization that pioneered the use of chatbots to provide SRHR information anonymously.

Using a gendered lens, the GRB process helps governments assess how policy directives and resource allocations can perpetuate inequalities and allows citizens to hold the government accountable for meeting its obligations. ...
