Webinar Invitation: Social Marketing High Impact Practice, January 20th, 2022, 09:00 Washington / 15:00 Geneva / 17:00 Kampala / 19:45 Kathmandu
Dear Colleagues and Partners,
Please join us on January 20th, 2022, from 09:00 Washington / 15:00 Geneva / 17:00 Kampala / 19:45 Kathmandu for Social Marketing: Using marketing principles and techniques to improve contraceptive access, choice, and use webinar, the latest installment of our High Impact Practices webinar series.
Click here for the local time zone for the webinar. Social marketing seeks to leverage marketing concepts to influence behaviors that benefit individuals and communities for the greater social good. It uses behavior change theory, market research, and consumer insight to inform the delivery of health information, products, and services that are attuned to client’s needs, values, and preferences. Social marketing success is ultimately about creating sustained behavior change, which goes beyond changing knowledge and attitudes around family planning. What distinguishes social marketing from other behavior change approaches is the notion of value exchange, or the idea that the target audience will adopt or select—a contraceptive method, product, or service—in exchange for perceived benefits. Download the Social Marketing Brief here, and register for the webinar today! We look forward to your participation.

New Scoping Review on Contraceptive Counseling - GHSP
GHSP recently published an article written by PSI exploring the evidence around contraceptive counseling approaches and the linkages to contraceptive discontinuation. This scoping review serves as a precursor to PSI’s upcoming research on our Counseling for Choice approach to contraceptive counseling.
A snapshot of the key points and implications is included below. The full paper, titled Leveraging the Client-Provider Interaction to Address Contraceptive Discontinuation: A Scoping Review of the Evidence That Links Them can be accessed here: https://www.ghspjournal.org/content/early/2021/11/08/GHSP-D-21-00235

Two new articles - A focus on contraception in Pakistan
Dear colleagues Hope you are staying well and keeping safe. Sharing two new articles that just got published.
The links are provided as under: Azmat SK, Lashari T, Ali M, Awan MA, Karim A. Contraceptive access, choices, and discontinuation among the urban users in Karachi, Pakistan: Findings from a comparative analysis of Pakistan demographic and health survey 2012-12 and 2017-18. J Pak Med Assoc. 2021 Nov;71(Suppl 7)(11):S38-S44. PMID: 34793427. https://jpma.org.pk/PdfDownloadsupplements/650
Abstract Introduction. To explore and assess the contraceptive access, choices, and discontinuation among the urban users in Karachi using the last two Demographic and Health Surveys in Pakistan. Methods: A comparative analysis of the six districts of Karachi (Urban only) using Pakistan Demographic and Health Survey 2012-13 (sample size 2324) and 2017-18 (sample size 2896) of the currently married women of reproductive age 15-49 years was designed and conducted. For the current study, we used descriptive statistics on contraceptive use, method-mix, unmet need for family planning, method-specific discontinuation, sources of modern contraceptive use by channel (public and private), and exposure to family planning messaging. Results: The analysis of the PDHS indicated that the mCPR for Karachi Urban remained stagnant at 35%. However, CPR (all methods) improved from 48% to 52% mainly because of an increase in the traditional contraceptive methods. On the other hand, there was an increase in unmet need between the two DHS surveys from 13% to 16%. The possible explanation is inadequate resource allocations, affordability of the services, poor quality of care, and fear of side effects, among other factors. The supply-side situation indicates that the private sector holds a significant share of family planning service delivery. However, the decline of 15% in the current share of services from the private sector in Karachi's urban areas since 2012-13 PDHS data. The desire for pregnancy, method failure, and side effects remained three significant reasons for the method discontinuation. Conclusion: The present study reports a high unmet need for family planning and a stagnant mCPR for urban Karachi between the two demographic surveys. In addition, the data reveals private sector taking over the public sector for the delivery of modern contraceptive methods while the major reasons for method-specific discontinuation illustrates a similar trend at national and urban Karachi level.
Azmat SK, Temmerman M, Ali M. Accessibility and uptake of modern contraceptive methods in Pakistan - a critical view on what works? J Pak Med Assoc. 2021 Nov;71(Suppl 7)(11):S20-S32. PMID: 34793425. https://jpma.org.pk/PdfDownloadsupplements/648
Abstract Background: In Pakistan, there is a clear imbalance between the population's needs and available resources to cater for spacing and limiting childbirth as desired by couples. More than two-thirds (70%) of the Pakistani population are now paying out-of-pocket for overall health costs. This critical review is guided by the aim to increase access and utilization of modern contraceptives in the underserved Pakistan. The research question explores the effects of multi-pronged health financing model "using vouchers" for increase in contraceptive access and uptake among married women in rural Pakistan. Methods: The review comprised studies that were published inclusive and after 2000 on implementation research on family planning. The international scientific databases searched included PubMed, SCOPUS, and MEDLINE until December 2016. Related articles were found using key terms and based on a review of the titles and abstracts of the published papers, a total of eight published studies met the criteria and were included for this review. Results: This critical review of key private sector intervention demonstrated that the use of multi-pronged health financing mechanisms targeting underserved communities such as 1) using demand-side free vouchers complemented by mid-level social franchise providers along with community health worker support to connect clients with facility and 2) using public sector trained community midwives and engaging a dedicated community health worker with them to generate demand and bridge the gap between clients with the local facility (financing CMW trainings and CHW salaries; and 3) expanding outreach services to reach out to underserved communities (financing free services) - has a positive and favorable impact. The findings show that free vouchers used alongside social franchising (multi-pronged health financing model) was able to increase the overall contraceptive uptake and also increased method specific uptake mainly for intrauterine device (IUD) and condoms in the intervention group in three different studies. Conclusions: The multi-pronged health financing mechanisms exclusive to FP not only were able to increase the uptake of modern FP services in underserved areas but also facilitated the long-term continuity of modern FP methods, while promoting method-specific switching behavior. The models, using voucher based social franchising, community midwives coupled by CHWs, and the outreach services have a tangible effect on modern family planning uptake within communities.

Tomorrow: Webinar Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Infographic Country Snapshots - 16 December, 2021, 09:00 Washington/ 15:00 Geneva/ 17:00 Nairobi
16 December, 2021 – 09:00 Washington / 15:00 Geneva / 17:00 Nairobi
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Infographic Country Snapshots Register today! https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8000713326956076299
Realization of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) requires the provision of comprehensive, people-centred services, that address different, often interconnected components of SRHR, and that are supported by an enabling environment, quality health systems, and meaningful community engagement. Data on SRHR is routinely collected but it is often difficult to get the scope and complexity at the country level of the interconnected components.
In December, a set of country-specific infographic snapshots on SRHR are being launched for all 194 WHO member states that will provide a ‘one-stop’ overview bringing together publicly available SRHR data from verified sources. By highlighting the national SRHR situation – including successes, areas for improvement, data gaps, and innovative approaches such as self-care interventions – these infographic snapshots can be used by policy makers, researchers and civil societies for determining priorities, planning programmes, resource mobilization, and strengthening health systems, service delivery and community engagement.
WHO and UNFPA invite you to this webinar, hosted by The IBP Network, where the SRHR infographic snapshots will be presented and where we will unpack the importance of having comprehensive SRHR data.

Request for literature on implementation strategies to scale up self-administered DMPA-SC injections
Adeniyi Aderoba
Dear Colleagues,
The Contraception and Fertility Care Unit of the UNDP–UNFPA–UNICEF–WHO–World Bank Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction (HRP), Department of Sexual Reproductive Health and Research, at the World Health Organization has commissioned a scoping review on the strategies to scale up self-administered subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) injections. This will aid a better understanding of the barriers that prevent effective implementation of self-administered DMPA-SC programs and provide solutions to these implementation problems.
Research has shown that the self-administration of DMPA-SC is a feasible, safe, and effective contraceptive method. Users who self-administered DMPA-SC show higher continuation rates at one year compared with those who had provider-administered injections. DMPA-SC has been registered for self-injection in many countries. Still, there are challenges to interventions to roll out this new efficacious contraceptive method, and major implementation issues have been encountered for scale-up. Another challenge is that many of these interventions are described in the grey literature and not published in peer-reviewed publications.
Therefore, we are keen to identify any literature, including academic articles, white papers, (project) reports, measurement tools or topic guides, etc., covering issues related to implementation strategies to scale up self-administered DMPA-SC injections. If you are aware of this literature, kindly share the electronic file with us (adeniyi.aderoba@... or steynp@...) before 7th December 2021.
The protocol for the scoping review can be accessed by clicking here, and the results will be shared with you once it is completed.
Thanks in advance for your contributions,
