Increasing access to voluntary family planning services is key to the success of Millennium Development Goal 5, which calls for reducing maternal mortality and achieving universal access to reproductive health services. With renewed country interests and commitments, now is a crucial moment to ensure this important, cost-effective intervention is part of a scaled up global maternal health response. Maureen Norton, senior technical advisor with USAID’s Office of Population and Reproductive Health; Jessica Bowers, portfolio director for Every Mother Counts; Jonathon Cooper, country director of Marie Stopes Uganda; Dr. Benjamin Schwartz, senior director of CARE’s Health Equity Unit; and Sarah Craven, chief of UNFPA’s Washington Office spoke at the Wilson Center on July 31 about achieving this goal.

Young people make up nearly one-quarter of the world’s population, the largest population of youth in history. They are a generation characterized by opportunity, technology, and innovation with the potential and passion to create enormous social change through unprecedented participation, connection, and leadership. However, youth are also highly vulnerable to violations of their rights and disproportionately impacted by devastating health and social problems, including unintended pregnancy, maternal mortality, HIV/AIDS, and early and forced marriage.
Investing in the health and human rights of young people will be key to achieving the goals and objectives set out by USAID and other donors to tackle the challenges faced by young people around the world. Panelists will discuss how addressing the diverse needs of today’s young people is critical to achieving broader global health and development goals; how young people are currently impacted by these issues; and the role that governments, donors, and other partners play in working with young people to ensure their health and rights are respected, protected, and fulfilled.

How can communications professionals, policymakers, and academic experts effectively communicate environmental and health issues in a skeptical era? In the first of two panels, communications directors from U.S. and UN agencies and environmental and health NGOs discussed the relationships and negotiations that underlie action (or inaction) in a major policy-making capital like Washington, D.C. In the second panel, five speakers explored the cultural and social causes and consequences of climate change skepticism (especially American climate change skepticism) and consider the implications for national and international efforts to address global climate change. This two-part discussion is sponsored by the Environmental Communication Division of the National Communication Association.

Vy Sovanna, a midwife working with PSI Cambodia, pinches the fat cheek of one of many children in a village outside of Kampong Speu, Cambodia.
PSI (Population Services International) is working in this area to provide counselling and access to birth control to women as part of their reproductive health program.
PSI is a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. that harnesses the vitality of the private sector to address the health problems of low-income and vulnerable populations in more than 60 developing countries. With programs in malaria, reproductive health, child survival, HIV and tuberculosis, PSI promotes products, services and healthy behavior that enable low-income and vulnerable people to lead healthier lives. Products and services are sold at subsidized prices rather than given away in order to motivate commercial sector involvement.
Kampong Speu, Cambodia. November 2008.
Number 1 brand condoms for sale in a Vientiane pharmacy. The condoms are manufactured and distributed by PSI (Population Services International) to promote sexual health and prevent HIV. Instead of giving out the condoms for free, PSI sells them in the marketplace at affordable prices and promotes their regular use, thereby creating a market for condoms which in turn attracts other condom manufacturers. This process is called 'social marketing'.

With reinvigorated family planning and maternal health efforts underway, including FP2020 and planning for the post-Millennium Development Goal era, it is critical that there is equitable participation of women, youth, and their communities in the design, delivery, and monitoring of reproductive and maternal health policies and programs. Social accountability mechanisms create meaningful links between citizens, service providers, and governments that can in turn lead to more responsive, accountable, and effective health systems. In Malawi, the government and CARE are currently implementing a Community Score Card at the district level to improve health outcomes and ensure rights. Are such social accountability efforts the answer to keeping rights at the center of our sexual, reproductive and maternal health efforts?
