The Family Planning and Reproductive Health Indicators Database
Dear Family Planning Champion,
Contraceptive prevalence rate. Couple-years protection. Condom availability for young people. These are just a few family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) indicators that guide program evaluation and learning. Unless you are an evaluation expert, the process of selecting indicators can often feel overwhelming.
Data for Impact (D4I) recently launched a database that can help you easily reference and select FP/RH indicators to measure your work.
