Chers collègues,

Knowledge SUCCESS a entendu des professionnels de la planification familiale et de la santé reproductive (PF/SR) et d'autres professionnels de la santé mondiale dire qu'ils voulaient un espace pour apprendre des échecs professionnels des autres. Pensez-vous que les professionnels de la santé mondiale sont vraiment prêts à partager leurs échecs professionnels avec d'autres ? Répondez à une enquête rapide pour nous le faire savoir.

Knowledge SUCCESS mène cette enquête afin de mieux comprendre les attitudes et les pratiques des professionnels de la santé dans le monde en ce qui concerne le partage des échecs professionnels. Nous définissons les échecs professionnels au sens large comme des expériences où les résultats d'un programme ne répondent pas à vos attentes et où vous n'êtes pas satisfait de la façon dont les choses se sont déroulées.

L'enquête devrait prendre plus de 10 à 15 minutes et est disponible en anglais et en français. Il sera ouvert jusqu'au 9 juin.

Répondre à l'enquête est volontaire ; c'est votre choix. En répondant à ce sondage, vous consentez à partager vos commentaires confidentiels avec Knowledge SUCCESS. Vous pouvez choisir de ne pas répondre aux questions que nous vous posons.

Dear Colleagues and Partners,

 

Please join us today May 31th, 2023, from 09:00 Washington / 13:00 Dakar / 15:00 Geneva for a webinar on Social Norms: Promoting community support for family planning, the latest installment of our High Impact Practices webinar series.

 

Click here for the local time zone for the webinar.

 

What is the proven high-impact practice in family planning?

Implement interventions that address social norms to support an individual’s or couple’s decision-making power to meet their reproductive intentions.

 

An individual’s or couple’s decisions and behaviors around contraception and reproductive health are influenced not only by their individual knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes but also by informal and mostly unwritten rules of the communities where they live known as “social norms.”

 

Social norms define acceptable and appropriate actions within a given community or group. They are sustained and enforced by people whose opinions or behaviors matter to an individual (e.g., sexual partners, friends, peers, family members, religious or community leaders). These individuals are known as reference groups. Individuals who do not act in accordance with social norms may face sanctions, such as ostracism or lowering of status. Social norms that affect an individual’s or couple’s decisions and behaviors around contraception and reproductive health include norms related to who has the power to make decisions; when and how many children to have; who is allowed and when it is appropriate to engage in sexual activity; and who is allowed and when it is appropriate to seek health services.

 

Download the HIP brief here, and register for the webinar today. We look forward to your participation!

Only one week away .. localization conversation on June 6

Ados May
 

 

                        REGISTER TODAY!

There is increasing attention and changes in how development agencies do business, given the push to localize development, particularly by USAID. USAID defines localization as the set of internal reforms, actions, and behavior changes that they are undertaking to ensure their work puts local actors in the lead, strengthens local systems, and is responsive to local communities. How localization will best benefit local groups is under debate. This session seeks to explore this issue and provide perspective on how CORE Group members can contribute to progress to strengthening local ownership of development.

Dear colleagues,

 

For development work to be truly sustainable, results and outcomes from short-term program cycles need to continue across generations, long after donors have concluded their support. Join us this Thursday, May 25 for a discussion on sustaining Population, Health, and Environment activities in East Africa. Panelists will share their experiences on how HoPE-LVB project activities have continued to thrive since project closure in 2019.

Join us for a webinar.

Thursday, May 25 at 2:00 pm EAT/7:00 am EDT

The webinar will be in English with simultaneous interpretation into French.

 

In 2022, Knowledge SUCCESS collaborated with 128 Collective (formerly Preston-Werner Ventures) and USAID, to conduct a rapid stock-taking exercise to document the sustained impact of a cross-sectoral integrated Population, Health, and Environment (PHE) project. That exercise resulted in a learning brief that shares the lessons and learnings about scale-up and sustainability of the Health of People and Environment-Lake Victoria Basin (HoPE-LVB) project activities in Kenya and Uganda since project closure in 2019.

 

Webinar panelists, representing community groups, organizations, networks, and government, will share their unique experiences on how HoPE-LVB activities have continued and been adapted from their perspective.

 

Please join our moderator and four panelists for this engaging presentation and bring your questions for the moderated Q&A portion.

Ados May
 

 

 

 

 

Please join us on May 16th, 2023, from 07:00 Washington / 13:00 Geneva / 16:00 Karachi for a webinar on Knowledge, Beliefs, Attitudes, and Self-efficacy: strengthening an individual’s ability to achieve their reproductive intentions, the latest installment of our High Impact Practices webinar series.

 

Click here for the local time zone for the webinar.

 

What is the proven high-impact practice in family planning?

Implement interventions to strengthen an individual’s ability to achieve their reproductive intentions by addressing their knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and self-efficacy.

 

Accurate knowledge about family planning has long been understood as a critical factor to reach various family planning goals and essential to informed choice. Experts believe that individuals with accurate knowledge that goes beyond knowing a few contraceptive methods, such as knowledge of fertility or contraceptive side effects, are more likely to use and less likely to discontinue using family planning to fulfill their fertility intentions. In addition to knowledge, other individual factors influencing someone’s ability to reach their fertility intentions include beliefs, attitudes, and self-efficacy. This HIP brief together with the other two HIP briefs focusing on understanding and addressing behavioral determinants (social norms and couples’ communication) recognizes that factors influencing health behaviors exist on multiple levels, are interrelated, and extend beyond the individual.

[New Resource]: Partnerships and Power - Understanding the Dynamics Between International and National Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Organizations

Robyn Sneeringer
 

Dear IBP Colleagues,

I wanted to share an update on the Transforming INGO Models for Equity (TIME) initiative, since many members of this network have been a part of it from the beginning.

Findings and recommendations from the first year of TIME for SRHR was recently published in Partnerships and Power: Understanding the Dynamics Between International and National Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Organizations. What stood out for me is that while there are undeniably unbalanced power dynamics between NNGOs and INGOs working in SRHR, there is consensus that INGOs play a valuable role in our ecosystem – even if those roles will inevitably shift over time. And some of the characteristics of NNGO-INGO partnerships that emerged gave me pause – tokenism, linguistic injustice and unhealthy competition, for example.

These findings have informed our planning and programming for 2023. I’m thrilled that so many IBP members are participating in our upcoming working groups, and have followed along and contributed in the last year.

Please reach out if you have any questions or are interested in learning more!

HIP Webinar Invitation: Knowledge, Beliefs, Attitudes, and Self-efficacy. May 16, 2023 07:00 Washington / 13:00 Geneva / 16:00 Karachi

Dear Colleagues and Partners,

 

Please join us on May 16th, 2023, from 07:00 Washington / 13:00 Geneva / 16:00 Karachi for a webinar on Knowledge, Beliefs, Attitudes, and Self-efficacy: strengthening an individual’s ability to achieve their reproductive intentions, the latest installment of our High Impact Practices webinar series.

 

Click here for the local time zone for the webinar.

 

What is the proven high-impact practice in family planning?

Implement interventions to strengthen an individual’s ability to achieve their reproductive intentions by addressing their knowledge, beliefs, attitudes, and self-efficacy.

 

Accurate knowledge about family planning has long been understood as a critical factor to reach various family planning goals and essential to informed choice. Experts believe that individuals with accurate knowledge that goes beyond knowing a few contraceptive methods, such as knowledge of fertility or contraceptive side effects, are more likely to use and less likely to discontinue using family planning to fulfill their fertility intentions. In addition to knowledge, other individual factors influencing someone’s ability to reach their fertility intentions include beliefs, attitudes, and self-efficacy. This HIP brief together with the other two HIP briefs focusing on understanding and addressing behavioral determinants (social norms and couples’ communication) recognizes that factors influencing health behaviors exist on multiple levels, are interrelated, and extend beyond the individual.

 

 

Download the HIP brief here, and register for the webinar today. We look forward to your participation!

Call for Resources

 

 

We want to hear from you! The High Impact Practices in family planning are designed to help connect FP/RH professionals to family planning practices that have demonstrated impact. But once best-practices are identified, diverse challenges regarding implementation and scale-up remain. In a recent analysis, we identified an expressed need from the FP/RH professional community for additional supportive tools to aid in the implementation and scale-up of the HIPs, and to respond — we need your help!
 

The ask: Are you working in the field of family planning and reproductive health, and using one or more of the High Impact Practices in your work? If so, we want to know what resources have been helpful for you in implementing and scaling up these practices, and that would be applicable across regions for your FP/RH colleagues around the globe. To contribute resources, please complete the submission form available at the link here

Please note: The open comment period ends on May 5, 2023

 

 

Seeking HIP Technical Experts 

 

The High Impact Practices in Family Planning (HIP) Partnership is looking for technical experts to be part of groups to update the HIPs briefs on Mobile Outreach Services and Community Health Workers. Experts are also sought to write two new briefs on: Self-care for Family Planning and Task sharing for Family Planning.
 
Each expert will serve as a volunteer on a small team to work on one HIP brief over a one year period. The members of the technical expert groups work with a writer who, with guidance and input from the experts, writes the brief.  Details on the brief development process can be found here.

Brooke Huffman
 

[Invitation/EOI] Virtual Learning Series – Improving Sexual and Gender Minority Inclusion in Youth-Focused FP/RH Programming – Deadline: May 5th  

 

 

Greetings,  

 

Breakthrough ACTION, led by the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs, will host a virtual learning series on improving sexual and gender minority (SGM) inclusion in youth-focused family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH) programming. We are inviting individuals with relevant experience and expertise to express interest in participating in this online event by completing this form by COB May 5, 2023.  

 

Outputs of this interactive series, planned for June/July 2023, will inform the development of technical guidance, which will support global program implementers to design and implement FP/RH programming that is more affirming, inclusive, and equitable for all youth.  

 

Please note that completing the expression of interest form does not guarantee participation; responses will allow Breakthrough ACTION to gauge interest in and availability of potential participants. Responses to the form will be kept confidential and only viewed by the team responsible for managing the virtual learning series. The learning series itself will also be invite-only. If you have specific safety and security concerns, please reach out directly.  

 

If you know of other individuals doing similar work that may be interested in participating, please feel free to share this form with them. Thank you for your time, and feel free to reach out to me at brooke.huffman@... with any questions or comments. 

 

Otherwise, we look forward to hearing from you by May 5! 

 

Best regards,  

 

Brooke Huffman

New small grants mechanism for maternal health seeks applications

Ados May
 


Severe bleeding after childbirth—postpartum hemorrhage (PPH)—is the leading cause of maternal mortality world-wide. Each year, about 14 million women experience PPH resulting in about 70,000 maternal deaths globally. The majority of PPH-associated complications could be avoided by the use of prophylactic uterotonics just following delivery*. Even when women survive, they often need urgent surgical interventions to control the bleeding and may be left with lifelong reproductive disability.

The RHSC Maternal Health Caucus is pleased to announce a new small grants mechanism to increase access to new and lesser-used medicines for postpartum hemorrhage (NLUM-PPH) capable of preventing and treating PPH. This will include heat-stable carbetocin (HSC) for prevention of PPH and tranexamic acid (TXA) for the treatment of PPH.

By building on the lessons of the Clinton Health Access Initiative’s (CHAI) successful regranting model—the Catalytic Opportunity Fund (COF)—and leveraging our own experience of managing small grants through our own Innovation Fund, we are offering five to seven grants, each valued up to $100,000, during the first year of this initiative.

This initiative is supported by funding from MSD, through MSD for Mothers, the company’s global initiative to help create a world where no woman has to die while giving life. MSD for Mothers is an initiative of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, NJ, USA.

We expect activities funded by this initiative to increase efficiency and effectiveness of HSC and TXA introduction and scale-up through the development of a costed introduction plan (i.e., forecasting and quantification), training of health care providers, or implementing pilot studies to inform a scale-up approach. The goal of this initiative is to ensure that health providers and women in low- and lower-middle-income countries have access to a high-quality drug for effective PPH prevention and treatment—regardless of the level of the health care system in which she chooses to give birth.
