Executive summary
Given the poor status of sexual and reproductive rights of young people in Bangladesh and lack of capacity of civil society and young people’s organizations/networks to hold the State accountable in delivering sexual and reproductive rights, the project envisions to tap into the opportunities around Voluntary National Review and Human Rights Instrument i.e. UNCRC to increase accountability of the state in upholding these rights.
The project will develop capacities of young people and their networks/groups to engage with VNR and UNCRC monitoring, strengthen capacities of civil society groups/organizations, strengthen collaboration between youth organizations/platforms and other civil society actors and create positive social norms around SRHR and participation of girls and young women in decision making processes.
It will partner with civil society organization working at the national level, civil society organizations working for young people from marginalized communities and youth organizations/platforms to deliver this change. Therefore, the project will make a difference in improving status of sexual and reproductive rights of young people through strengthening civil society especially youth organizations/networks to hold Government accountable in delivering quality SRHR and SGBV services and changing social norms around SRHR of young people.
Overall impact:
Y-MOVES will contribute to building a dynamic and inclusive civil society working towards advancing young people especially girls’ rights to participation, protection and sexual reproductive health in Bangladesh.

Increased agency of young people, particularly girls and young women to act as change agents on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) including prevention of SGBV.
Outcome 2:
Civil society, including child and youth led networks, have strengthened capacity and collaboration holding the state accountable on commitments made on SRHR and SGBV at national and district level.
Outcome 3:
Increased responsiveness and positive social norms among government duty bearers and community gatekeepers to implement policies and programs on young people’s rights to SRHR and protection from SGBV at national, district and sub-district level
