The Advocacy for Legislative Action on Menstrual Health (ALAM-H) project pioneers transformative menstrual health advocacy and environmental sustainability in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State, addressing challenges faced by adolescent girls.
As part of the ongoing #ALAMHProject, CHHELD successfully trained data enumerators on effective data collection techniques, ethical considerations, and digital data collection tools, to ensure accurate and high-quality data for informed decision-making. A total of 10 data enumerators (5 males, 5 females) participated in the training. These individuals will serve as field data collectors for baseline surveys in public secondary schools and communities.
Beyond data skills, the training empowered them with knowledge on menstrual health, period poverty, and Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV). Understanding these critical issues will help them engage more sensitively with communities, ensuring data is collected with empathy, accuracy, and respect for participants’ experiences.
The Capacity Building Training of Data Enumerators will strengthen the advocacy efforts under the #ALAMHProject, empower participants to conduct surveys on the prevalence of period poverty, community perspectives on menstruation, menstrual hygiene management, sanitation facilities and environmental impact of disposable menstrual products in public secondary schools and communities in Khana LGA of Rivers State.
The #ALAMHProject aims to catalyze transformative policy change, prioritizing menstrual health management, championing gender equality, and contributing to global environmental goals. By building a well-informed and digitally equipped enumerators, the project is set to gather the credible evidence needed to drive legislative action and reduce period poverty in Khana LGA and beyond.
