The Sustainable Development Goals, finalized at the
UN Special Summit on Sustainable Development,
provide a new universal set of development
goals, targets and indicators. This project aims
to strengthen the capacity of Pacific CSOs to
influence the SDG nationalization process, through
the provision of country-specific advocacy tools,
and support to ensure the effective implementation
of advocacy plans.
At the regional and global levels, this project will
increase awareness of the need and value of investing
in SRHR by providing a voice to CSOs in the Pacific.
It is essential that the two SRHR targets included
in the SDGs receive appropriate prioritization and
resourcing in national implementation plans.

Mekong Subregion:

Raks Thai Foundation
Women’s voices on SRHR, gender and related
development issues have been discussed on multiple
occasions during the process of developing the
Agenda 2030 sustainable development indicators.
The specific needs and concerns of women and girls
living with HIV in the Greater Mekong sub-region,
however, have not been adequately addressed.
They face barriers in accessing SRHR which is
compounded by their status as migrants.
This project aims to vocalize the needs of women,
girls, men and boys living with HIV in the Greater
Mekong sub-region at the national, regional and
international levels. The key participants of this
project are women from networks of people living
with HIV in the six countries of Cambodia, China,
Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.
