Menstrual Health in East and Southern Africa

Update of the 2018 Rapid Review and Stocktaking

As part of the extensive preparations for the 2021 Menstrual Health Symposium – ACMHM, a review paper was commissioned to consider some of the key issues, highlights, successes and challenges within menstrual health management, with a specific focus on East and Southern Africa. This rapid review was commissioned to take stock and document progress made in ESA since the 2018 Symposium, including at country level, and with the additional purpose of assessing and documenting the impact of the strengthened advocacy through the ACMHM.
