This thesis investigated how the Swedish child-rights-based organisation ERIKS Development Partner implements the subject of menstrual health into their interventions. Furthermore, it examines the match between ERIKS Menstrual Matters Concept Paper and the current state of menstrual health implementations into their interventions as well as obstacles in the implementation of menstrual health.

This has been done by using qualitative research methodology. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with ERIKS staff and partner organisations, as well as an analysis of relevant documents. The coding process and analysis was guided by two theoretical frameworks: the Gender and Development approach, the Empowerment approach.

The findings reveal that ERIKS employs a multifaceted approach to implementing menstrual health, incorporating education, distribution of menstrual products, and community engagement. However, several challenges hinder the full implementation of menstrual health, including cultural taboos, missing infrastructure and limited funding. Despite these obstacles, ERIKS' efforts in capacity building and involving boys, men, and religious leaders have proven effective in promoting menstrual health and reducing stigma around the subject.

In conclusion, while ERIKS has made significant strides in addressing menstrual health, further efforts are required to overcome existing barriers and enhancing the sustainability and effectiveness of these interventions. The recommendations provided in this research aim to support ERIKS in refining its approach to menstrual health and achieving greater impact in the communities they work with.
