Key areas of work are capacity development, advocacy, evidence generation and strategic partnership.

• Purpose: To capacitate the YKP to understand the issues of SRHR and get ready for the regional SRHR conference called 9th Asia Pacific Conference on Reproductive and Sexual Health Rights.

• Approach: The entire course was designed into three modules with assigned facilitator. The Google class was used to facilitate the online classes. Materials were distributed in advance.

• The assignment was given after completion of each module and feedback provided.

10 participants based on the scoring from three facilitators were selected for the conference in Vietnam

Lessons learnt: It was effective though there was some limitations in discussions. Assignments and feedback mitigated the limitations. The perk of attending the conference after the online class motivated the participants to engage effectively.
