Abstract

Delivery of sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services was curtailed in the Pacific Island countries and territories, as already limited resources were redistributed towards meeting priorities dictated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This project will investigate, analyse and quantify the impact on SRH outcomes. It will explore the experiences of SRH policy changes during the pandemic and aim to collaboratively develop a management plan for SRH programs should another pandemic occur in the future.
