EECO Program Brief on Introducing the Caya Diaphragm in Niger

Danielle Harris

Dear colleagues and partners,

The USAID-funded Expanding Effective Contraceptive Options (EECO) project supports the introduction of products with a potential to fill gaps in the market for voluntary contraception. Led by WCG Cares and in collaboration with Population Services International, the EECO project is piloting the introduction of the Caya Diaphragm in Niger. The Caya Diaphragm is a self-care, non-hormonal, discreet and reusable barrier method of contraception.

In our new program brief, Expanding Effective Contraceptive Options: Introducing the Caya Diaphragm in Niger, we share key steps taken, lessons learned and initial outcomes. The strategies and learnings described in our brief are applicable to future introductions of Caya as well as to other contraceptives in new markets. The brief is available in both English and French.

Thank you for helping us spread the word about this publication. Please contact Shannon Bledsoe (sbledsoe@...) with any questions. Apologies for cross-posting.

HI

I am not a very active member of IBP but read this, and read other messages with gratitude and appreciation. Thank you for the frontline work.

I have been thinking not just about contraception but also menstrual cycle costs to women. Has anyone worked on a program of desirability, affordability and acceptability of menstrual cups? They may not be easily used or even accepted, but they would certainly save fundss in the long run. It would be essential to look at any health risks as well.

Appreciatively, peg

Webinar Reminder: Task Sharing FP Services to increase health workforce efficiency & expand access August 20th, 2020

Ados May

#24

Dear Colleagues and Partners,

Please join us on August 20^th, 2020, from 09:30 to 10:45 Washington / 14:30 Abuja / 15:30 Geneva / 16:30 Nairobi for Task Sharing Family Planning Services to Increase Health Workforce Efficiency and Expand Access: A Strategic Planning Guide Webinar, the latest installment in our High Impact Practices webinar series.

The Task Sharing Strategic Planning Guide is intended to lead program managers, planners, and policymakers through a strategic process to determine if and how task sharing family planning (FP) services can be used to help achieve development goals. Task sharing is defined as the systematic redistribution of family planning services, including counseling and provision of contraceptive methods, to expand the range of health workers who can deliver services (WHO, 2017). Task sharing is a safe, effective, and efficient means to improve access to voluntary sexual and reproductive health services and reach national FP goals.

Download the Strategic Planning Guide here, and register for the webinar today! For more information about the HIPs and to view previous webinars, please visit: https://www.fphighimpactpractices.org/

FW: Call for implementation tools for home-based-records

Nandita Thatte

#25

Dear IBP Network,

Please see the request below from colleagues at WHO.

Best, Nandita

Dear Colleagues,

In an effort to improve implementation of home-based records, WHO is seeking to collect existing tools that support home-based records implementation. See additional information below.

We are looking for the most recent version of formal documents and tools which:

· focus on the improvement of home-based records implementation (handbooks, training guides, checklists, etc.).

· focus on reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health, including vaccines, nutrition, growth and development and early child development.

· should either be published after 2010 (or if still in use, we will accept published before 2010).

Please send (in electronic format) any tools you have developed or know of to sbce-priorities@.... If the tool meets our inclusion criteria, we will contact you to ask for any reports regarding the evaluation of the tool and/or lessons learned in using the tool. Tools can be sent in any language. However, we would prefer an English version, if available.

If you prefer, we can send you a link where you can upload the document rather than sending by email; please write and let us know.
We will be collecting tools until 20 August 2020.

Many thanks in advance for your contributions!

Please share this email with others.

Annie Portela and Laura Nic Lochlainn for WHO and Anne Detjen for UNICEF

Additional Information

A home-based record is a health document used to record the history of health services received by an individual. It is kept in the household, in either paper or electronic format. Home-based records can take multiple forms such as antenatal care records, immunization cards, child health booklets, and mother & child health books.
During the development of a global WHO guideline on home-based records for maternal, newborn and child health (https://www.who.int/maternal_child_adolescent/documents/home-based-records-guidelines/en/), a number of research gaps and implementation considerations were identified. In response to these gaps, WHO, UNICEF and JICA are collaborating to develop practical guidance to strengthen implementation of home-based records.

Wednesday, Sept 2 | 11:00 AM–12:15 PM EDT

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from colleagues with hands-on experience applying systematic approaches to scaling up family planning best practices in multiple countries.

Join USAID, its global Evidence to Action (E2A) Project, and scale-up leader ExpandNet for a virtual event. Learn from experts and implementers who took deliberate steps to increase the impact of effective family planning and reproductive health interventions—to sustainably reach more people and to strengthen policies and programs. Together, we will demystify a complex process and share useful tips that can benefit your project and organization.

Featuring

Regina Benevides, PhD, MSc, Gender and Youth Team Lead of HIV Prevention Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Center for Global Health. Leveraging 30+ years of experience in public health and her tenure as a technical director for the E2A project, Dr. Benevides will illustrate why applying a systematic approach to scale-up requires shifting mindsets followed by capacity building for project personnel and at the country level.

Oluwayemisi Femi-Pius, MD, Senior Technical Manager, Pathfinder International Nigeria. With 16+ years of experience in clinical practice and in designing, implementing, and managing reproductive health and family planning programs in resource-constrained settings, Dr. Femi-Pius will share insights from her collaboration with E2A in Nigeria to build the capacity of local stakeholders and equip them to own, lead, and support scale-up processes.

Alexis Ntabona, MD, MPH, ExpandNet Consultant and Former Lead of the Technical Support Team, Department of Reproductive Health and Research, WHO. As a founding member of ExpandNet, Dr. Ntabona provided technical support to E2A’s work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where country ownership was prioritized in planning for and implementing initiatives to expand and institutionalize an integrated package of family planning and primary healthcare services.

Patricia MacDonald, RN, MPH, Senior Family Planning/Reproductive Health Technical Advisor, Office of Population and Reproductive Health, USAID. As Technical Manager of E2A, Ms. MacDonald will reflect on the accomplishments of this global flagship project and propose ideas for the future—how governments, donors, and implementers can fill gaps in systematic scale-up processes.

The panel will be moderated by Laura Ghiron, MPH, Scale-Up Advisor for E2A, President of Partners in Expanding Health Quality and Access, Member of ExpandNet Secretariat, and Co-Lead of the Community of Practice on Systematic Approaches to Scale-Up. Ms. Ghiron has collaborated with E2A on the application of scale-up approaches since the project’s inception in 2012.

Insights for improving malaria, family planning, and maternal and child health outcomes in northwestern Nigeria through social and behavior change programming

Breakthrough RESEARCH webinar series

VACCINATION
20 August 2020, 4-5 p.m. WAT

In this webinar, Breakthrough RESEARCH will share findings from its work in northwestern Nigeria related to routine childhood immunization. We will present new ideational metrics collected and discuss how these metrics are associated with vaccination behaviors for young children. Breakthrough ACTION will present key program design to address vaccination and the programmatic implications of the research.

Breakthrough RESEARCH is USAID’s flagship project for social and behavior change (SBC) research and evaluation, led by the Population Council. In Nigeria, Breakthrough RESEARCH is evaluating the effectiveness of Breakthrough ACTION’s integrated versus malaria-only SBC programming on priority malaria, family planning, and maternal, newborn, and child health and nutrition (MNCH+N) outcomes.

A behavioral sentinel surveillance (BSS) baseline survey was conducted in September 2019, with a midline and endline survey planned. The BSS survey measures changes in key behaviors and ideations (e.g., norms, beliefs, self-efficacy) across malaria, family planning, and MNCH+N to inform Breakthrough ACTION’s program adaption and scale-up over the course of the project.

To facilitate a more streamlined presentation of key results and longer discussion: a recorded presentation describes the BSS objectives, sample and research methods. These will not be covered in detail in the webinar.
Please view this 19 minute video prior to the webinar for background.

Upcoming webinars will be focused on other specific health areas, including malaria, and family planning, among others. These webinars will highlight results from analyses of the relationships between ideations and behavioral outcomes and link the evidence to implications for Breakthrough ACTION programming in Nigeria.

Last week, the world celebrated 2020’s International Youth Day, highlighting how youth engagement enriches local, national, and global institutions and outcomes. In this newsletter, LeaderNet is sharing a collection of experiences and resources to encourage youth programming on leadership and meaningful engagement. This issue covers topics in sexual and reproductive health (SRH), empowerment, leadership, inclusion, and emergency settings, illustrating how much young people contribute when meaningfully engaged.

YOUTH RESOURCES

Youth Leadership in Africa has Never Been and Will Never be About Age!

Youth leadership is not about age, but rather, a young leader’s capabilities and revolutionary thinking. Evalin Karijo's blog challenges society to acknowledge the power of young leaders and youth-led movements. She argues that once youth are fully represented in Africa’s leadership, progress will be made in health, education, and the economy.

Guaranteeing a Healthy Future Generation

All adolescents require age-appropriate health education and services to promote their sexual and reproductive health and rights. In Nigeria, Women Friendly Initiative (WFI) works with youth coalition Novel Association for Youth Advocacy to build the capacity of 12 member organizations in advocacy, domestic resource mobilization, and accountability. Read Dr. Francis Awasighe Eremutha’s blog to learn more about WFI’s activities.

Programs for Youth and Young Adults: Science-informed Definitions

This Child Trends resource provides clear, science-based definitions for terms used by practitioners, grant writers, funders, and program managers who support and serve youth and young adults. The interactive online resource uses a “Context, Interventions, and Outcome” framework to organize the definitions.

Map of Youth-led Organizations in Family Planning Access this interactive map featuring youth-led organizations that are working to improve access to SRH services, based on responses to an FP2020 survey.	Two Pakistani Youth Speak Out on the Importance of Inclusivity Saro Imran and Tanzila Khan explain why the SRH movement should include sexual and gender minorities and people with disabilities.
Global Consensus Statement on Meaningful Adolescent and Youth Engagement Approximately 30 youth organizations provided recommendations and participated in different milestones of drafting the Statement.

Brave Voices, Bold Actions Podcast

Women and girls want respectful, dignified reproductive and maternal health care. The White Ribbon Alliance launched this podcast to look at women’s and girls’ demands for their own health care. Listen to the first three episodes here.

Preparing to Zoomshop

With a lot of meetings, trainings, and workshops transitioning to online or virtual platforms, many instructional designers and meeting managers struggle to engage participants without the standard face-to-face experiences. Instructional designer Beth Gragg shares tips to consider before your workshop.

A Wake-up Call Both Brutal and Urgent

Even before COVID-19, regulatory systems in low- and middle-income countries faced challenges to efficiently and effectively assure the quality of essential medicines. Read this blog by USAID MTaPS Program’s Tamara Hafner and Javier Guzman to learn about a game-changing tool to improve medicines regulatory systems.

Subject: New research helps to increase understanding of the impact of COVID-19 for pregnant women and their babies

Dear colleagues,

New research findings published today in the BMJ help to shed light on the risks of COVID-19 for pregnant women and their babies. The paper suggests that pregnant women seen at the hospital with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 are less likely to experience a fever or muscle pain, but if they develop severe disease they are more likely to need intensive care than non-pregnant women with COVID-19.

My Body, My Voice: International Safe Abortion Day Briefing

You are warmly invited to the next virtual briefing in our Spotlight series, on Monday 28^th September 10:00-11:00am EST / 15:00-16:00pm BST:

My Body, My Voice: International Safe Abortion Day Briefing

Globally, one in four pregnancies end in abortion. Yet, with abortion still highly stigmatised, many of these experiences remain silenced. To mark International Safe Abortion Day, MSI is holding a virtual briefing with partners at Ipas and the Asia Safe Abortion Partnership to launch new data on global trends in safe abortion access

On the 28^th September, MSI will publish this year's update of our annual My Body, My Voice report, launching new findings from interviews with over 1,800 women who accessed a safe abortion service with MSI. Whilst every woman’s experience is unique, these responses can help to identify global trends and solutions, based on what women want and value, from how women hear about abortion services, to how they access them, and the community support experienced along the way.

Given the focus of this year’s International Safe Abortion Day on self-managed abortions, the briefing will include presentations on how we can support self-administration safely, including via pharmacy provision and accompaniment models.

The briefing will feature a series of short presentations followed by a live audience Q&A.

Register for the briefing.

All webinars are recorded and shared via the Spotlight blog.

The Gendered Experience of Youth Leadership in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Bridging the Chasm

Registration: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/298722325310156047

Description:

Young people are participating in and leading sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) initiatives in unprecedented ways—and this surge of effort has generated both new impacts and new learning. Part of this learning is around the issue of gender: we now know that young women and young men have radically different experiences working as advocates on SRHR issues. Young women experience more harassment, backlash, and insecurity on the job. And they struggle to balance SRHR leadership roles with gendered demands on their time and autonomy.

This session will draw on Youth Investment, Engagement and Leadership Development (YIELD) Project research findings to explore how gender influences the motivations, needs, experiences, and career trajectories of youth participants and leaders in SRHR initiatives. Insights will be shared about what prevents young women from achieving their full potential as leaders in SRHR efforts and youth leaders will discuss what can be done to help young women grow and thrive in meaningful SRHR careers. Leave this session motivated and equipped to form equalizing alliances with young women—and help them thrive as the SRHR leaders they are meant to be.

Survey question module on the effects of COVID on FP access and use

Trinity Zan

#39

Dear IBP members,

The R4S Project is pleased to share the attached module of questions developed to help document the effects of COVID-19 on family planning (FP) access and use. This question module will capture the following information:

Unintended pregnancies
FP need and use
Source of supply
Method choice
Method switching
Barriers to obtaining methods
Interest in self-care options
Long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) removals

Generating comparable evidence from multiple countries and programmatic contexts is critical to advancing understanding of the effects of the pandemic and recovery process on FP access and use, supporting program adjustments and generating broader learnings to inform the response to future pandemics. As such, we encourage you to integrate these questions into ongoing or new studies and data collection platforms. We will be using these questions under R4S, and are interested in collaborating with others who may use them to jointly produce learnings across their application to different settings. We will provide an editable Word version of the questions upon request. Contact us at R4Sinfo@....

I hope these will be useful to you and your programs. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions.

Best,

Trinity
