In this experience we wanted more control over the look and feel of the arrow icons, so we added our own. In this case, we search the icon library for an arrow and then applied an "On Click go to next page" interaction.
Pro tip: the animation transition for "Go to next page" and "Go to page xx" are slightly different. Choose the one you like best!
To give the background image a subtle animation movement we applied a "Pulse" animation with a duration of 44 seconds, set to repeat.
Pro tip: try adjusting the duration and easing options of this image to create a different pulsing effect.

Family Planning Resources
The Must-Have
Though 2020 has been a tumultuous year for us all, we’ve seen incredible innovations and ideas come from partners across the globe. As 2020 comes to a close, Knowledge SUCCESS is reflecting on what tools and resources have been produced and shared in the family planning and reproductive health community. This is why our project curated a list of “Must-Have Family Planning Resources” packaged like a holiday gift guide. To complete the list, we asked projects funded by USAID Population and Reproductive Health to submit resources that they have developed or used. Though you are not “buying” these tools this holiday season, we know you will find this collection of diverse tools from a variety of projects useful, informative, and timely.

This resource highlights lessons learned from implementing first-time parent (FTP) interventions to improve health and gender outcomes in three countries.
Since 2014, E2A has made it a priority to help close this knowledge gap and improve health outcomes for FTPs, (young women under the age of 25 who are pregnant with or have one child), and their male partners. Insights encompass project experience, implementer feedback, and input provided by FTPs across Burkina Faso, Nigeria, and Tanzania—which have highlighted several programming elements that are new or distinct from traditional reproductive health or youth programming when applied to this transitional lifestage.
These high-level FTP insights are a compilation of learnings relevant across multiple contexts and multiple programs—from Francophone West Africa, Anglophone West Africa, and East Africa. They represent important takeaways from standalone FTP projects, as well as FTP programs implemented within larger projects.

The Youth Family Planning Policy Scorecard dashboard allows users to access, interpret, and compare countries' policies and government programs related to youth voluntary family planning. Users can assess the extent to which a country's current policy environment enables and supports youth access to and use of voluntary family planning. Click on an indicator and the map will highlight countries with a color pertaining to whether the policy environment in that country is strong, promising, impeding for youth, or the policy does not exist. Explore by country of choice and see how that country ranks with all eight of the indicators for youth voluntary family planning, and links to the policy documents. The platform allows users to download a snapshot or a print version.

This blog post by YLabs was presented at San Francisco Design Week this year and shares tips and tricks for conducting design research with young people around traditionally ‘taboo’ topics. They share five design research tips that have helped them safely approach taboo topics in a way that puts young people at ease, elevates their voices, and amplifies their creativity. YLabs contends that understanding and preparing to work through taboo topics, rather than avoid them, will help designs to be more effective and sustainable and your research methods to be more ethical and compassionate.

This collection would not be complete without some resources tailored to the specific needs or patterns that we are seeing crop up due to the COVID-19 pandemic. MGCL’s document provides brief summary responses to key questions for health program managers and public health practitioners on adaptations required to ensure continuity of voluntary family planning and reproductive health care and interventions for adolescents (ages 10–19) and youth (ages 15–24) during the pandemic. It affirms the meaningful engagement of adolescents and youth as partners in adapting services and interventions.

For program managers and technical advisors working in reproductive empowerment or gender issues more broadly, this multidimensional scale can be incorporated in survey instruments as a validated, standardized measurement of reproductive empowerment. The Reproductive Empowerment Scale consists of five short subscales that measure women’s communication with healthcare providers; communication with partners; decision-making; social support; and social norms on issues related to women’s reproductive health and fertility.

The Evidence Project compiled a database of scales and measures of gender and power that can be used by program implementers and researchers. The database houses over 600 unique measures, many tested in multiple settings and used in many studies. The database includes multi-item scales and single-item questions that reflect gender norms, personal views or beliefs about gender roles and norms, gender role stress, gendered-dynamics, power and control in relationships, and individual-level agency, and self-efficacy, among others. It also provides information on the settings and populations where gender and power measures have been implemented, references for the published articles, as well as extracted information on scale psychometric properties and, where available, the question(s) that comprise the measure. In cases where gender or power scales were measured in association with family planning or intimate partner violence outcomes, the data-base provides additional information regarding the quantitative association between both constructs.

Registration of contraceptive products is a prerequisite for access. Yet regulatory requirements and processes are complex, evolving, and vary by country. To effectively plan for registration as part of new contraceptive product introductions, global health program managers need a basic understanding of the relevant requirements and processes.
To demystify the regulatory process for non-experts, EECO has developed a guide called Introducing New Contraceptive Options: Product Registration Basics for Global Health Program Managers. Readers will learn the basics of product registration and how this information can support good decision-making by program managers in consultation with regulatory experts. This resource is available in French, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Given the growing field of self-care and its increasing relevance in the era of COVID-19, this new quality of care framework to measure and respond to people’s experience with self-care is essential for integration into self-care implementation across the globe. As the designers of the framework explained in a recent Knowledge SUCCESS post, the sudden and rapid reliance on self-care isn’t how we imagined it—haphazard and driven out of crisis rather than thoughtful health system design. Self-care should mean better, more accessible, participatory, affordable, quality healthcare. Population Services International (PSI) and a consortium of organizations under the auspices of the Self-Care Trailblazers Working Group have developed a Quality of Care Framework for Self-care aligned with the WHO Consolidated Guideline on Self-Care Interventions for Health to respond to this need. The WHO put forward that it is possible to think about self-care from two complementary perspectives: one focused on improving the capacity of individuals to self-manage their care and another focused on reorienting the health system so that, as people become more engaged in their health, the health system is there to meet them.

Over the course of their lives, women may choose to start, stop, or switch family planning methods to meet their reproductive needs and preferences. By understanding the dynamics of contraceptive use, health policy and program decision-makers can better deliver high-quality, client-centered services that enable women and couples to make the best family planning choices for themselves. With this in mind, the PACE project developed this interactive tool where users can explore the reasons why different populations discontinued voluntary family planning in a given time period in a given country through Sankey diagrams. Recently, the project added three new countries (Benin, Guinea and Nigeria), and updated data for Senegal, and launched evidence-based policy recommendations that address obstacles to contraceptive continuation.

Breakthrough ACTION has worked with 24 donors and implementing partners to develop and validate a Global Shared Agenda for Social and Behavior Change (SBC) in Family Planning. The Shared Agenda is a tool to galvanize global coordination in SBC programs for voluntary family planning, inform investment decisions, and enable improved collaboration among donors.
This interactive site outlines priority areas where multiple actors are working, such as meeting the needs of youth and improving the quality of SBC in service delivery, to highlight the need for increased coordination, and to flag critical gaps that require further investment. The Shared Agenda identifies overarching opportunities for collaboration, including developing coordinated, long-term technical assistance plans for SBC in voluntary family planning at the global and regional levels, and harmonizing strategies and messages at the national level through collective planning, message harmonization workshops, and ongoing communication. Individuals and organizations are invited to submit their endorsement of the Shared Agenda via the site.

This resource provides a participatory social network mapping process that allows communities to identify the most influential and connected groups, formal and informal leaders, and gain a general understanding of how a community is socially organized. This resource contains a description of the two-to-three day social network mapping process and the Social Network Mapping Tool that guides communities to identify, list, and analyze who are the most influential groups and people in their communities and community networks. This resource is available in English and French. This tool is part of a larger How-To Guide for Tékponon Jikuagou, a USAID-funded IRH project that developed and tested a scalable package of social network activities to engage men and women in discussion and reflection about unmet need for voluntary family planning. The package works with and through influential and connected network actors who may be more effective in diffusing new ideas and mobilizing public dialogue than formal leaders or health workers alone. The How-To Guide provides detailed instructions for organizations that wish to offer the package either as a stand-alone initiative or as part of ongoing health and development programs.
