| Core Components Checklists for High Impact Practices in FP |
High Impact Practices (HIPs) in FP are a collection of evidence-informed practices identified by global experts that have demonstrated impact on contraceptive uptake and other related outcomes. D4I conducted a qualitative assessment of the extent to which 3 of 8 service delivery HIPs—community health workers, mobile outreach service delivery, and immediate postpartum FP—were implemented across several USAID-funded projects in Bangladesh and Tanzania. Overall, 20 core components for the three service delivery HIPs were developed for the D4I assessment. Learn how projects can monitor HIPs implementation with the core components checklist. Further, D4I collaborated with the Research for Scalable Solutions (R4S) project and The Challenge Initiative to harmonize the core components.

| Assessing Approaches to Demand-side FP Measurement |
D4I partnered with the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) Panel on Rethinking FP Measurement with a Rights and Justice Lens and the Population Council-Kenya to convene an expert meeting in Mombasa, Kenya. This global convening brought together more than 50 global experts to reexamine FP measurement, focusing on person-centered, context-sensitive approaches. The group also identified measures that can be used to assess FP progress, opportunities, and gaps and discussed ways forward to advance global FP measurement. Learn more from the meeting report.
