2.1. Introduction - Background about the alliance

The SRHR Alliance through its programs strives to accelerate access to SRHR information and services for young people and girls in Kenya and collectively strives for an environment in which all young people fully enjoy their SRHR in productive, equal and healthy societies. If young people stay healthy and realize their SRHR, they are able to lead productive lives and access economic opportunities. Together with our partners, the Alliance employs various strategies and approaches that have contributed to significant successes in the various aspects of our work in Kenya. The alliance recognizes that to ensure continuity of these approaches that address the needs and challenges of adolescents and young people, the alliance requires more resources and must focus its resources on programmes which have proven to be effective in addressing these needs and challenges. The Resource Mobilization Strategy of the alliance sets out how the alliance will aim to mobilize resources, allocate these resources to the agreed priorities manage and report on their use. The RMS will therefore directly contribute to the strategic objectives we seek to deliver upon over a five year period that is aligned with the organization’s strategic plan 2015-2019:

1.

To advocate for policies and legislation that promote access to sexual and reproductive health and rights at both the National and County levels;

2.

Strengthened partnerships and capacities of alliance members to facilitate and qualify sexual and reproductive health and rights programmes for young people, women and marginalized groups;

3.

To improve sexual and reproductive health status among young people, women, and marginalized groups;

4.

To build institutional capacity and sustainability of the Alliance to effectively implement and deliver the strategic plan form 2015-2019;

5.

Research;

6.

Strengthening partnerships

In addition, the RMS for 2019-2023 seeks to deepen the partnership with traditional donors; to diversify the donor base; and to mobilize sufficient resources to deliver upon the strategic outcomes set out in the strategic plan for young people, women, and marginalized groups.

The SRHR Alliance believes that improving sexual health and rights depends fundamentally on three things:

These convictions have fueled our strategic objectives and long-term objective.

1.

Available services and information provided in a manner that respects individual autonomy and dignity;

2.

A vibrant, diverse, and competent civil society empowered to demand the full recognition of individuals’ rights;

3.

Community awareness and acceptance of the right to sexual and reproductive health services as a public health and human rights priority;
