  • 2.Health Systems Strengthening and Contraceptive Security.Pdf
    CONTRACEPTIVE SECURITY FACTCARD 2 Securing contraceptives for economic development “The power of existing interventions is not matched by the power of health systems to deliver them to those in greatest need, in a comprehensive way, and on an adequate scale.”1 Margaret Chan, Director General, World Health Organization Key action points Governments should partner with non-governmental organizations to help meet the special needs of different populations, particularly vulnerable groups, bring family planning services to new audiences, and mobilize community health workers to provide family planning services. Contraceptives should be used as a tracer to measure effective service delivery and to ensure that they are reaching those that need them via the health service. Invest in research about unmet need for contraception and disaggregate data (for example by income, urban/rural residence, age, marital status, HIV status), Health systems to ensure policy and practice reflect the needs of the community. Build the density and capacity of health workers, by providing incentives to join the profession, and ensure strengthening that all training curricula include family planning and how to provide contraceptive services. Ensure that the family planning programme is and contraceptive adequately funded, that it has a separate budget line in the national and (if applicable) district budget, that there are adequate resources, and that they are released on time and in the full amount. security Health systems strengthening and contraceptive security Figure 1: Building blocks Service of a health system (World delivery Health Organization*) Community networks Human Leadership resources • Community-based approaches among the least empowered and and the most vulnerable women should be built into the Information governance service design.

  • Multidimensional Socioeconomic Inequalities in Women's Current Non
    Socioeconomic inequalities in use of contraception in Colombia: DHS 1986-2010 Catalina Gonzalez Uribe Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University College London 2012 2 I, Catalina Gonzalez Uribe confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Catalina Gonzalez Uribe 3 Abstract Background: In 2005 Colombia adopted the national Millennium Development Goal (MDG5) target of 75% modern contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) by 2015. Important gains have been achieved with respect to living conditions, education and health indicators in recent decades but inequalities within the country remain to be addressed. Methods: The aim was to analyse socioeconomic inequalities in women’s ‘current non- use of contraception’ using the six Colombian Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). A multidimensional approach to socioeconomic position was implemented. Absolute and relative socioeconomic inequalities were analysed using the Slope Index of Inequality (SII) and Relative Index of Inequality (RII). The interplay between level of education and Public capital with respect to contraceptive non-use was examined. Individual and contextual effects were investigated using a multilevel approach. Results: National prevalence in current non-use of contraception between 1986 and 2010 decreased from32.6% to 22.9%. Nationally, absolute inequalities narrowed but relative inequalities did not decline. Women with less than primary education had not met the CPR target in 2010 in urban (30.9%) and rural (41.4%) areas respectively. Absolute inequalities narrowed in urban areas but relative inequalities persisted in urban and rural areas.

  • The Case for Investing in Research to Increase Access to and Use of Contraception Among Adolescents
    1 About the Alliance for Reproductive, Maternal, and Newborn Health The Alliance for Reproductive, Maternal, and Newborn Health is a strategic partnership among four core international development organizations: the US Agency for International Development (USAID), the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID), the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Together, these partners are working collectively at both the global and country levels to ensure the most effective and efficient use of existing resources to accelerate progress in averting unintended pregnancies and reducing maternal and neonatal mortality. About this document In December 2012, the Alliance co-hosted a donor meeting on research gaps in family planning, and a subgroup formed at the meeting identified the need for this business case analysis. The Alliance commissioned Drs. Margaret E. Greene and Thomas Merrick to author this report, which is available online at www.path.org/publications/detail.php?i=2538. The executive summary exists as a separate policy brief that was reviewed and edited under the direction of Judith Frye Helzner and Linda Sussman and that is available online at www.path.org/publications/detail.php?i=2518. Both the full report and the policy brief were produced with editorial and graphic design support from the Creative Partners for Programs team at PATH.

Hynson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT RACHEL M. HYNSON: Sex and State Making in Revolutionary Cuba, 1959-1968 (Under the direction of Kathryn J. Burns) This dissertation explores the construction of the revolutionary state in order to trace the entwinement of familial health and national security during the first decade of the Cuban revolution. It analyzes campaigns deployed by government officials to remake sexual norms and produce families deemed healthier than those under capitalism. More specifically, my dissertation examines state efforts that normalized patriarchy by criminalizing abortion, legitimized marriage through collective weddings, schematized the workforce by condemning female prostitution, and restructured economic gender roles via the rehabilitation of chulos (loosely translated as “kept men”). Through close analysis of print media, speeches, travel narratives, and oral histories, my work makes two major contributions to the study of Cuban sexuality. First, by joining prerevolutionary context to an analysis of revolutionary policies, I demonstrate that the sexual behaviors lauded by state officials as new measures of revolutionary well-being were in fact traditional criteria recycled from prior Cuban regimes. Second, I assert that revolutionary leadership of the 1960s attempted to remake the state by challenging popular definitions of terms such as marriage, family planning, sex worker, and chulo.
