Exploring the factors that inhibit or contribute to the sustainability of school interventions on menstrual health (MH)

  • Small Grants

This project focused on assessing the sustainability of school interventions within the Ritu program and disseminating the findings. Conducted by Dhaka University with support from Simavi and Bangladesh Nari Progati Sangha (BNPS), the study produced data that informed a report and a fact sheet created by Simavi. BNPS utilized these materials to develop a position paper and policy brief. These resources served as the foundation for an online event hosted by BNPS and a webinar by Simavi and Share-Net. They were also distributed through social media channels and the Menstrual Hygiene Hub newsletter.
