The project aims to strengthen knowledge management and research capabilities, collecting and disseminating information on Bolivian regulations, the right to abortion and sexual and reproductive rights, providing training to health professionals, directors of health centers, and the ombudsman’s office so that they put it into practice and improve access to abortion in the department of Santa Cruz.

This would be achieved through training processes and research on sexual and reproductive rights, so that women and youth organizations are capable of critically monitoring SRH policy; and the strengthening of alliances both at the local and national levels. Additionally, the basic health and electricity services of the Monteverde Community Land of Origin (TCO) are strengthened, providing for the installation of renewable energy systems and organized training and awareness processes for the population and authorities.
