It is designed to provide guidance to health-sector programme designers and managers.
This first chapter provides basic definitions (with additional definitions in Annex I); introduces key principles of human rights-based programming, gender mainstreaming and culture; discusses the evidence that provides a strong foundation for recommendations on integrating SRH and GBV; and provides information on the most basic resources for the programme planner.
