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,
The Scoping Review Team

Can DMPA-SC Self-injection Bridge a Family Planning Access Gap in Humanitarian Settings? Wednesday, November 17, 2021 | 7:30–9:00 AM EST | 12:30–200 PM GMT | 3:30–5:00 PM EAT
The PATH-JSI DMPA-SC Access Collaborative invites you to a webinar on making self-care interventions available, including DMPA-SC self-injection, in humanitarian settings. Humanitarian crises and disease outbreaks exacerbate the barriers that women face when seeking reproductive health services. They also highlight a timeless truth: women must be able to manage their own sexual and reproductive health—especially in a crisis when health systems are at their weakest.
Through this virtual discussion, we aim to address key challenges in humanitarian settings that need to be addressed in order to leverage the potential of self-injection as an option to ease access to family planning in the context of a full method mix.
Discussion highlights will include:
The webinar will encourage all stakeholders—program implementers, researchers, government officials, health providers, and members of civil society—to consider humanitarian sector perspectives when advocating for policies that advance self-care behaviors and commodities essential to improving health outcomes in crisis settings.
This discussion will be moderated by George Barigye, Regional Technical Advisor, DMPA-SC Access Collaborative, PATH, Uganda.

L'auto-injection de DMPA-SC peut-elle combler l'écart d'accès à la planification familiale dans les contextes humanitaires ? Mercredi 17 novembre 2021 | 7h30–9h00 EST |12h30-200 GMT | 15h30-17h00 EAT
Le Collaboratif pour l’Accès au DMPA-SC de PATH-JSI vous invite à un webinaire sur la mise à disposition d’interventions d’auto-soins, y compris l’auto-injection DMPA-SC, dans les contextes humanitaires. Les crises humanitaires et les épidémies exacerbent les obstacles auxquels les femmes sont confrontées lorsqu’elles recherchent des services de santé reproductive. Cela met également en évidence une vérité intemporelle : les femmes doivent être en mesure de gérer leur propre santé sexuelle et reproductive, en particulier en cas de crise lorsque les systèmes de santé sont les plus faibles.
À travers cette discussion virtuelle, nous visons à relever les principaux défis dans les contextes humanitaires qui doivent être abordés afin de tirer parti du potentiel de l’auto-injection en tant qu’option pour faciliter l’accès à la planification familiale dans le contexte d’une gamme de méthodes complète.
Les points saillants de la discussion comprendront :
Cette discussion encouragera toutes les parties prenantes – responsables de la mise en œuvre des programmes, chercheurs, responsables gouvernementaux, prestataires de soins de santé et membres de la société civile – à prendre en compte les perspectives du secteur humanitaire lorsqu’elles préconisent des politiques qui font progresser les comportements et les produits d’auto-soins essentiels à l’amélioration des résultats en matière de santé dans les contextes de crise.
Cette discussion sera modérée par George Barigye, Conseiller Technique Régional, Le Collaboratif pour l’Accès au DMPA-SC, PATH, Ouganda.

A auto-injeção de DMPA-SC pode preencher uma lacuna de acesso ao planeamento familiar em contextos humanitários? Quarta, 17 de novembro de 2021 | 7:30-9:00AM EST | 12:30-200 PM GMT | 15:30-17:00 EAT
O DMPA-SC Access Collaborative da PATH-JSI convida-o a participar num webinar sobre a disponibilização de intervenções de auto-cuidado, incluindo a auto-injecção de DMPA-SC, em ambientes humanitários. Crises humanitárias e surtos de doenças exacerbam as barreiras que as mulheres enfrentam quando procuram serviços de saúde reprodutiva. Destacam também uma verdade intemporal: as mulheres devem ser capazes de gerir a sua própria saúde sexual e reprodutiva, especialmente numa crise em que os sistemas de saúde estão no seu ponto mais fraco. Através desta discussão virtual, pretendemos abordar os principais desafios em contextos humanitários que precisam de ser abordados de modo a alavancar o potencial da auto-injecção como opção para facilitar o acesso ao planeamento familiar no contexto de uma mistura completa de métodos.
Os destaques da discussão incluirão:
Esta discussão incentivará todas as partes interessadas — implementadores de programas, investigadores, funcionários do governo, provedores de saúde e membros da sociedade civil — a considerar perspectivas do sector humanitário ao defender políticas que promovem comportamentos de auto-cuidado e mercadorias essenciais para melhorar os resultados da saúde em contextos de crise.
Esta discussão será moderada por George Barigye, Assessor Técnico Regional, DMPA-SC Access Collaborative, PATH, Uganda.

I would be delighted to meet you at Share-Net International’s 10-year anniversary of the conference “Linking research, policy and practice” that spotlights students’ research findings related to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and gender equality & women’s empowerment (GEWE). Several sessions, such as session 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8, include presentations on topics related to family planning and reproductive health. I invite you to check out the programme and abstract dossier, register yourself to sessions of your interest and please also help us disseminate among your partners, students, colleagues etc.! Thank you very much!
The aim of the conference is to: • Disseminate young people’s knowledge on SRHR and GEWE • Create a safe space for open dialogue, linking and learning between different SRHR actors • Stimulate research-informed policy and practice, particularly in SNI country-hub contexts • Identify further gaps in research, policy and practice •
Harvest networking opportunities between Share-Net members, young researchers, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Embassies of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
in SNI countries and the wider SRHR community When? Full day event on Thursday, 18th of November 2021 - 9.00 – 17.00 GMT+1; Where?
