Innovation for Sexual and Reproductive Health in Humanitarian Crises

This report examines how SRH community of practice understands innovation and maps interventions against SRH research gaps and needs

Abstract

An estimated 32 million women and girls of reproductive age are living in emergency settings. Within these unstable and challenging contexts, delivering accessible, quality, and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) is increasingly complex, and requires more creative and improved interventions.

Driven by our focus on finding solutions to complex humanitarian problems through research and innovation, Elrha commissioned a report to better understand how the SRH community of practice understands innovation, and maps innovative interventions against SRH research gaps and needs. In addition to providing an analysis of ‘where we are’ in terms of innovation for the humanitarian SRH sector, it offers a clear strategy and ‘next steps’ on how to meaningfully innovate for SRH.
