INDIGO – Enhancing Indicators for Improving Policies and Evidence Gathering Supporting Young People’s Access to Abortion
Overview
Project INDIGO is aimed at expanding the cadre of abortion service providers and producing evidence on the consequences of unsafe abortion. The project also seeks to support state governments with developing or improving guideline documents on quality of care for abortion service provision, via the states’ Ministries of Health.
