In 2013, SNI was commissioned by the Dutch Government to lead the knowledge platform on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). Share-Net International combines the expertise and strengths of Dutch organizations, Southern partners and key international actors working in the area of SRHR to achieve the SRHR and HIV related Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In addition, the Platform encompasses national knowledge networks in four countries: Bangladesh, Burundi, Jordan and the Netherlands. These networks serve as conduits for situation assessments, defining research priorities, facilitating research participation by country institutions and hosting the local knowledge base/platform. They also stimulate the participation of key international partners and regional and national actors in SRHR
The digital platform will be built on the already existing SNI website and integrate Trainers Lab. This website is currently mainly being used for sharing knowledge, including news and resources in the field of SRHR, call for proposals, vacancies, international events and to promote the work of SNI. In addition to knowledge sharing, the new digital platform aims to strengthen the collaboration between all Share-Net country hubs and their members by facilitating international knowledge exchange as well as matchmaking between the different sets of actors in the SRHR field. The overall objectives of the digital platform, therefore, are
Knowledge sharing, Matchmaking, and Knowledge exchange
