The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) invites applications for its International Training Programme “Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)”. The training is designed for individuals holding positions in organizations in the area of SRHR and who are qualified to participate in reform processes at various levels.
Sida has commissioned Lund University (LU) to carry out an advanced training programme in SRHR between 2014 and 2018. The long-term objective of the programme is to contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of poor women, children, youth and men by:
