By uniting youth networks through knowledge sharing, the project aims to improve sexual health outcomes by enabling youth-led community organizations to share their knowledge, experience, and advocate for SRHR. The initiative will utilize the existing and proven Share-Net Bangladesh (SNBD) knowledge management platform, implementing activities across five knowledge management pathways to bridge research and practice for effective policy advocacy.

Objective:
