WHO Pre-Conference on Technical Assistance to Countries, South-South learning exchange and Community and Provider-driven Social Accountability Research
The WHO FP Accelerator project supports partners and ministries of health (MoH) to accelerate quality and rights-based family planning (FP) services within the broader frameworks of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Universal Health Coverage (UHC) and the WHO 13th Global Programme of Work (GPW13). The project contributes specifically to achieving SDG targets 3.1, 3.7 and 5.6 and to the GPW13 goal of 1 billion more people covered by UHC.
In this pre-conference session, you will hear about innovative approaches and outcomes of technical assistance to countries, including the South-South learning exchange (SSLE). You will hear about the available evidence on SSLE in FP, WHOs approach and guidance to SSLE and country experiences and lessons learnt in using SSLE to strengthen FP services in Nigeria, Uganda, Nepal, Sri Lanka and India.
The afternoon session will focus on research on community and provider-driven social accountability interventions (CAPSAI) conducted in partnership with Population Council-Ghana, Ifakara Health Institute-Tanzania and Integrity Initiative-Ghana. The session will highlight the effect of the intervention on contraceptive uptake and use and the mechanisms and contextual factors that influence and generate these effects in Tanzania and Ghana.
