The Programme launched on 19 February 2025, at a Regional Meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, with full participation from the Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Directorates and Reproductive Health Experts from IGAD Member States, IGAD and AUDA-NEPAD.
The A2DSRH Programme is a five-year grant provided to IGAD by the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD). This support focuses on the Demographic Dividends and Sexual Reproductive Health Initiative for Regional Economic Communities and Member States, enhancing their capacity to build, strengthen, and scale up their national health systems and networks in providing sexual reproductive health services. This aligns with Goal 3 of the 2030 SDG targets, which aims to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all individuals of all ages across the region.
Dr. Mohamed Elduma, the Head of the Health Unit at the IGAD Secretariat, expressed appreciation to the Member States for their commitment to IGAD regional health Programmes and acknowledged AUDA- NEPAD for supporting IGAD in this initiative to strengthen its capacity to deliver regional health Programmes. He also noted the flexibility in the annual work plans, allowing for adaptation according to country needs.
