This project aims to help reduce illness and death among mothers and children by improving the delivery of comprehensive and integrated sexual and reproductive health services to poor, marginalized and high-risk communities. Providing access to sexual and reproductive health services, including family planning, is critical to improving maternal and child health on a sustainable basis. Access to these services empowers women and girls, improves their life opportunities, and reduces maternal and infant mortality caused by the transmission of HIV and unplanned pregnancies. This project is in line with the priorities of the Muskoka Initiative relating to the health of mothers, newborns and children.

Return to topThe expected intermediate outcomes for this project include: (i) increased use of high-quality client-oriented, rights-based, integrated sexual and reproductive health services; (ii) increased use of affordable community-based outreach services and easy access to services, particularly by marginalized, socially excluded, stigmatized and under-served women and young people; (iii) increased use of under-utilized and new contraceptive technologies; and, (iv) increased meaningful partnerships formed by IPPF member associations to strengthen health systems in the target countries.
Final results achieved as of September 2015 include the provision of comprehensive, integrated sexual and reproductive health services in the five project countries, including 7,905,321 family planning services, 5,650,023 maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) services, and 15,475,878 sexual and reproductive health, HIV/AIDS and HIV-related services. In addition, the project supported the distribution of some 46,914,412 contraceptive commodities by IPPF’s Member Associations in the project countries. Finally, the project has increased the capacity of Member Associations, other health care providers and the national governments in the project countries to provide quality services to women and men in under-served communities.
These results have contributed to improving the health of women and young children in under-served communities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Mali, Sudan and Tanzania.
