“…As compared to government, the flexibility structures of many NGOs have allowed them to formulate, implement and evaluate innovative programmes directed at the need of specific populations and communities even for the programmes that could be too controversial for government to work on it [22]. The previous study also showed that with the robust collaboration between the government and NGO can scale up a social development program such as CSE to national level successfully through a carefully negotiated partnership [23].…”

Federation of Reproductive Health Association, Malaysia (FRHAM) is a pioneer Non-governmental Organization (NGO) in disseminating the knowledge and services of sexual reproductive health in Malaysia. A qualitative case study research design was employed to explore the roles of FRHAM in promoting Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) for the well-being of locals and refugees’ communities. In-depth interviews were conducted with the staffs of FRHAM to inquire about their effort in delivering their services. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded and emergent themes were identified. FRHAM had played a part as educator, service provider, advocate and actively involved in improving the quality of life among the refugee community. The organization had developed modules for CSE and conducted programs for dissemination of knowledge. They also collaborated with local governmental agencies and other NGOs to promote awareness and utilization of services among the communities. Nevertheless, promoting CSE had experienced many challenges in Malaysia. The perceptions of Malaysian viewing sexuality education as taboos, cultural factors, the reluctance of educators in delivering, and the low visibility of FRHAM are the barriers encountered by FRHAM in promoting CSE. FRHAM recommended including parents, teachers and other stakeholders in the promotion of CSE and acknowledging CSE as an official subject to be implemented in schools. The information from this study may encourage more partnerships between the stakeholders, policy makers and NGOs for providing high quality CSE and sexual reproductive health services.

“…The findings of this analysis on successful strategies for building community support for CSE and overcoming resistance are similar to findings from other contexts. For example, the usefulness of the public-private partnership between the Government of Jharkhand and C3 – whereby the programme can benefit from governments’ inherent credibility and authority and its schools as an existing delivery platform on the one hand, and NGOs’ ability to nimbly navigate contentious waters while offering enhanced technical support on the other – match similar experiences from Senegal and Mexico [ 17 , 18 ]. Similarly, the choice to label Udaan as an AEP instead of CSE echoes choices made by many programmes in other contexts, such as use of “family life education” or “reproductive health education” in Senegal, “family life and HIV education” in Nigeria, and “life skills based education” in Pakistan [ 8 , 9 , 17 , 19 , 20 ].…”

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. Results Community support for Udaan was built by ensuring that the curriculum was responsive to the context, capitalizing on an enabling policy environment, institutionalizing Udaan through government-led implementation, prioritizing careful selection and training of teachers, emphasizing monitoring and evaluation, and engaging with community gatekeepers. Udaan effectively responded to resistance by organizing a formal curriculum review, orienting editors of local newspapers on the programme; responding to questions and concerns; and proactively creating positive visibility. Conclusion The lessons from Udaan provide insight into approaches that can be used to design and sustain sexuality education programmes in complex settings.
