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?

Pen Sopheak and Vy Sovanna, midwifes working with PSI Cambodia, promoting a local clinic, to be held the following day, providing birth control for rural women.
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.

With the Millennium Development Goals coming to a close and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under consideration, the international community has a unique opportunity to define the next priorities for global development. Coming on the heels of this year’s United Nations General Assembly meeting, a panel of three development experts discuss key issues that are underrepresented – or missing altogether – on the SDG agenda: climate change, peace and governance, and reproductive health.

Rapid population growth can be a contributing factor to both greenhouse gas emissions and vulnerability to climate stresses. Early childbearing, high fertility rates, and short birth intervals are associated with poor maternal and child health outcomes as well as lower educational attainment and work force participation, which directly impede women’s ability to participate and invest in climate change adaptation. However, the positive benefits of voluntary family planning, either for emissions reductions or adaptation, have not figured prominently in climate policy discussions or those related to improving access to family planning.
To address this gap, the Population Reference Bureau and Worldwatch Institute formed an international Population Dynamics and Climate-Compatible Development Expert Working Group to identify policy opportunities to increase investment in family planning in climate-sensitive development initiatives. Join us for a presentation about the working group’s report and discussion with select working group members.

Evaluation is a critical part of any development programming. Rigorous evaluations identify the successes, failures, and gaps in a given project, accumulating lessons learned that hopefully lead to more effective programming. Breaking new ground through their small-scale, community-based, and multi-sectoral approach, population, health, and environment (PHE) programs require a rethinking of traditional evaluation methods. Join us in a discussion about the history of PHE program evaluations and the path forward with John Pielemeier, an independent consultant focused on design, evaluation, and management of international development programs and projects, Vik Mohan, medical director of Blue Ventures, and Roger-Mark De Souza, director of population, environmental security, and resilience at the Wilson Center.

October 2, 2021. Easton, PA.
Easton community members marched in downtown Easton to protest Texas’ new near-total abortion ban, joining protesters across the nation calling for the protection of abortion rights. The law has drawn national headlines and several legal challenges. The U.S. Supreme Court refused a request to block the law, though its constitutionality has yet to be decided.

As more women around the world become economically active, are they also empowered? And how will this empowerment change other aspects of their lives, like reproductive health? A new white paper from United Nations Foundation, Women’s Economic Empowerment and Reproductive Health, addresses these and other key issues for the post-Millennium Development Goals development agenda. It also offers an independent perspective on the long-term implications of rising levels of women’s participation in the global labor force. Author Alaka Basu spoke at the Wilson Center on October 10.

Number 1 brand condoms, 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'.
