How we chose the resources
This collection began with a series of informational interviews with colleagues knowledgeable about condoms and family planning within FHI 360 and with Bidia Deperthes, Sexual Health Team Lead and HIV Prevention Advisor at UNFPA. The interviews led to several relevant resources and then our team conducted a broader internet scan for any additional resources including those from behavior change and commodities databases and through partners, such as Population Services International (PSI). These resources were reviewed by colleagues at FHI 360, Contraceptive Technology Initiative (CTI), PSI, Male Contraceptive Initiative, and UNFPA. To be included in this collection, a resource must be:
- open-access
- produced within the last five years with the exception of a few seminal pieces
- considered foundational for program managers, technical advisers, decision-makers, or conveners in FP/RH seeking to learn more about various dimensions of condom-related programming and evidence
- global or regional/country-specific with lessons that can be applied in other contexts
What is included in this collection?
This collection includes resources categorized into the following four resource types:
- Introductory Resources (10 resources)
- Evidence & Impact (4 resources)
- Program Examples (4 resources)
- Training (2 resources)
The resources in each type cover topics ranging from condom use, evidence-based condom program management and advocacy, condom market approaches and assessments, procurement standards, to program results within case studies.
Each entry comes with a short summary and statement on why it is essential. We hope you find these resources informative for your work.
