Dream For Another Decade: Share-Net Bangladesh Celebrates Its Decade Long Journey As SRHR Advocate

As its host organisation since 2015, RedOrange Communications is glad to celebrate Share-Net Bangladesh’s 10-year journey, “A Decade of SRHR Knowledge Management in Bangladesh”, held on 24 April 2025 at Hotel Bengal Blueberry.

This reflective meeting brought together over 50 partners, mentors, and change-makers, including representatives from the Government of Bangladesh; Embassies of the Netherlands and Sweden; Global Affairs Canada; UN bodies; INGOs; academicians; researchers; youth leaders; and private-sector experts. Together, we reflected on the past ten years of progress and collaboration in advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in Bangladesh.

The journey to introduce SRHR in Bangladesh began with the realisation that, in an ever-evolving world, there was a need to enhance the access and impact of SRHR knowledge. Share-Net Bangladesh’s platform has continuously played a pivotal role in connecting research, policy, and practice, addressing gaps and challenges in the sector. 

Key highlights from the day:

• Reflecting on a decade of impact: We look back at how Share-Net Bangladesh has successfully bridged research, policy, and practice—publishing over 50 knowledge products, organising annual Knowledge Fairs, and establishing nine Communities of Practice on key SRHR issues.  
• Outcome Harvesting Workshop: Through a live survey session, stakeholders discussed and analysed together to co-create a roadmap for the next decade, focusing on sustainability, digital innovation, youth engagement, and strengthening cross-sectoral partnerships.  
• Linking research, policy, and practice: While innovation is crucial, Share-Net’s main role has always been to create impactful connections across research, policy, and practice, facilitating evidence-informed decision-making for SRHR advancement through constant dissemination of knowledge sharing.  
• The role of members: We extend our deepest gratitude to Share-Net Bangladesh’s members—the true drivers of this platform’s success. As facilitators, we remain proud of the collaborative spirit and collective action that have made this journey possible.

As the host and implementation partner behind the scenes, RedOrange Communications managed the event’s end-to-end design, content curation, stakeholder engagement, and multimedia storytelling. We are proud to have played a role in amplifying these crucial conversations, ensuring that SRHR knowledge is not just generated but translated into meaningful action for communities in need. 

Thank you all for participating in a day filled with reflection, innovative ideas, and a renewed commitment to making SRHR a reality for all. We look forward to continuing our journey together—driving innovation, elevating voices, and shaping a more inclusive SRHR landscape in Bangladesh over the next decade.
