RHAK

The Reproductive Health Alliance (RHAK) was registered in the Ministry of Justice on December 27, 2001. Now there are seven branches of RHAK, one for each of the seven regions of the Kyrgyz Republic (Osh, Jalal-Abad, Talas, Chui, Naryn, Batken and Issyk-Kul). From the inception of RHAK, young people have been actively involved as members of the organization, participating in strategic planning, governance and organizational policymaking. Youth committees are elected at each RHAK branch, as well as at the national RHAK level.
