We have navigated our way through the Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) Toolkit Roadmap. We have grasped the multifaceted and interrelated programmatic considerations for sexual reproductive health (SRH) managers to prioritize at the onset of a crisis and technical guidance to incorporate throughout preparedness and response interventions along the humanitarian continuum. This chapter provides SRH managers with guidance on how to apply this technical knowledge in a humanitarian crisis.
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, readers should be able to:
- Describe the role and responsibilities of SRH coordinators and/or managers
- Explain the main components and considerations in developing an ASRH proposal and/or adding ASRH components to a larger health/SRH proposal
- Describe typical costs associated with ASRH programs and provide justification for those costs
- Discuss the importance of supportive supervision and provide examples of program implementation tools for ASRH programs
