Self-care for sexual and reproductive health has advanced significantly in the last two years, following the publication of the World Health Organization's (WHO) self-care guidelines in 2018, recently updated in 2022. According to Senior Technical Advisor for Self-Care Sarah Onyango, remarkable progress has been made at national levels, with several countries developing and adopting national self-care guidelines.

Working side-by-side with committed governments, implementers, and funders, Living Goods aims to save lives at scale by supporting digitally-empowered community health workers (CHWs). With its support, these local women and men are transformed into frontline health workers who can deliver on-demand, life-saving care to families in need. They go door-to-door treating sick children, supporting pregnant mothers, counseling women on modern family planning choices, educating families on better health, and delivering high-impact medicines and health commodities.

Recapulatif du webinaire sur les approches à haut impact pour l’introduction et le passage à l’échelle de l'utilisation de la contraception auto-injectable.
Social and behavior change (SBC) approaches can increase the use of modern contraceptives by addressing the attitudes and social norms that influence demand. However, they often do not receive attention, partly because many practitioners are not effectively measuring their SBC efforts. Breakthrough ACTION interviewed voluntary family planning stakeholders in West Africa to learn why.
When it comes to family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) programming, encouraging behavior change starts by understanding what shapes consumer decisions. Because when we truly understand the core attitudes that influence – and at times, limit – how people perceive contraception, we can better design and deliver solutions that serve their needs.
