Building an enabling environment and responding to resistance to sexuality education programmes: experience from Jharkhand, India.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the substantial need for sexuality education and evidence on its effectiveness, implementing organisations continue to grapple with numerous challenges, especially related to community support and resistance. This article aims to analyse the experience of Udaan, a programme that has achieved remarkable success in Jharkhand, India, to answer the following questions: (1) What strategies did Udaan use to create a supportive environment? and (2) What processes did Udaan use to respond to resistance during its implementation?

Methods

We reviewed programme documents and publications, synthesized key themes, identified questions of interest, and conducted interviews with key informants from the Centre for Catalyzing Change's leadership.
