"SAFE Girls" Project Update: Successful Completion of Five-Day Provincial ASRH Training".
5 Days ASRH training was conducted under the SAFE Girls Project, implemented in partnership with Good Neighbors International Nepal (GNI Nepal) with technical and financial support from KOICA and UNFPA.
The event took place from 11–15 November at the Provincial Hospital, Janakpurdham, with strong technical support from PHTC, Pathlaiya, Bara. Health workers from Gaur, Paroha, Dewahi Gonahi, and Yamunamai municipalities of Rautahat participated—each municipality represented by one paramedic and one nursing staff from two health posts. Expert trainers—Mr. Girendra Kumar Jha, Mr. Anjum Jha, Dr. Umesh Kumar Yadav, Dr. Sudip Kumar Yadav, and Mr. Anil Yadav—facilitated the sessions, providing practical knowledge and skills required for delivering adolescent-friendly health services.
This training has strengthened participants’ capacity as ASRH focal persons, enhancing the quality and effectiveness of AFHS services.
Dr. Paras Hussain, Chairperson of RDC–Nepal, shared:
“Through this training, local health workers are now better equipped to deliver effective ASRH and AFHS services. Through the SAFE Girls Project, we remain committed to creating a safe and enabling environment for adolescent girls and young women.” Participants shared that the training was highly beneficial for improving adolescent health services at the community level.
We extend special thanks to PHTC Pathlaiya, KOICA, UNFPA, GNI Nepal, and the entire organizing team and all the participants for their support in making the training success.
