Working with our local partners, SUFO uses effective models and approaches to support women and girls in remote communities overcome poverty, social injustice, and humanitarian crises. We then use and apply the evidence derived from our programs to influence broader change and to scale up effective solutions.

OUR MISSION
SUFO supports access to high-quality, comprehensive, sexual and reproductive health counseling, education, and services including contraception and voluntary family planning services, STI/HIV prevention and care, and maternal and newborn care (including antenatal and postpartum care).

APPROACH

a). Gender equality and strengthening women’s voice.

We partner with communities to challenge and transform the inequitable gender norms that restrict women’s and girls’ ability to realize their sexual and reproductive health and rights.

b). Promote inclusive governance and social accountability.

For a decade, SUFO has been working to expand spaces for meaningful participation of women and girls in shaping how reproductive health services are provided in their communities. We establish and support effective participatory governance mechanisms through which women, girls, and communities monitor and provide feedback.

c). Increase resilience and reduce risk.

We work to strengthen health systems to ensure that women and girls have access to quality, rights-based reproductive health services that are responsive and acceptable in both humanitarian and development settings, and to link community and health systems in a virtuous cycle of quality improvement and respectful care.

d). Form strategic partnerships and advocate for effective policies at all levels.

Globally, women and girls face many challenges and barriers to realizing their SRHR, and we realize that it would be impossible to solve these problems alone. Our advocacy work delivers lasting solutions by promoting policy reforms that foster strong, healthy, resilient, families and communities.
