Evidence-based knowledge plays an essential role in advancing SRHR by ensuring that policies, programs, and services are grounded in reliable data and rigorous research. This approach enables decision-makers to respond to real needs rather than assumptions, allowing for the development of effective, contextspecific interventions. It also supports ongoing monitoring, evaluation, and the continuous refinement of strategies. In SRHR, where issues are often sensitive and politically debated, evidence provides a strong foundation and basis for advocacy and policy dialogue. It helps counter misinformation, reduce stigma, and foster accountability.

By grounding SRHR efforts in evidence, stakeholders can ensure that progress is inclusive, effective, and sustainable, ultimately improving health outcomes and advancing rights for all.

Knowledge products play a vital role in supporting advocacy by transforming research, data, and experience into clear, actionable insights that inform and influence decision-making. In the field of SRHR, where advocacy often engages with sensitive and contested issues, these products help present evidence in ways that are credible, relevant, and persuasive.

This toolkit explores the Share-Net approach to knowledge product development through the examples of Share-Net Country hubs Columbia, Ethiopia, Jordan and Bangladesh, and how their KPs support and progress SRHR in local, regional and international contexts!
