Urban Family Planning in Sub-Saharan Africa: An Illustration of the Cross-sectoral Challenges of Urban Health
The multi-sectoral nature of urban health is a particular challenge, which urban family planning in sub-Saharan Africa illustrates well. Rapid urbanisation, mainly due to natural population increase in cities rather than rural-urban migration, coincides with a large unmet urban need for contraception, especially in informal settlements. These two phenomena mean urban family planning merits more attention. To what extent are the family planning an…
Bridging the gaps sector to sector and research to policy: Linking Family Planning to Urban Development
There is growing science and policy interest in multi-sectoral action, but bridging the gap between family planning and urban development is challenging. This paper analyses the experience of integrating these sectors in sub-Saharan Africa via building research capacity. Family-planning researchers were supported to link with urban-development actors, one goal being to generate lessons on the process of getting their research into the policy doma…

that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual, or psychological harm or suffering for women, ineluding threats of such acts, coercion, or arbitrary deprivations of liberty, whether occurring in public or private life.1 A recent analysis of more than 50 population-based surveys found that between 10% and 50% (or more) of adult-women respondents around the world reported having been physi- cally assaulted by an intimate male partner …
Transforming Family Planning Services in the Latin American and Caribbean Region
The 1994 International Conference on Population and Development held in Cairo has generated widespread commitment to changing family planning programs from categorical and medically focused service organizations to reproductive health initiatives that embrace a wide range of social and human services. This article uses qualitative data analysis to review the experience of nine family planning association projects in the Latin American and Caribbe…
Where Women Have No Doctor
In the context of inequity which makes achieving `health for all' extremely difficult, Where Women Have No Doctor attempts to give access to health information to those who lack it. The authors applaud the book, and stress that there is great need for this information, despite criticism from the book's reviewer in Development in Practice 8(3). This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis
Men's involvement in family planning
The idea of increasing men's participation in family planning has received periodic attention for the past 20 years, but there is no generally accepted understanding of what men's involvement actually means. This paper examines the gender implications of 'male involvement' for the staff and decision-makers of service delivery programmes, and the gender dynamics surrounding the use of contraceptives, particularly male-dependent methods. It discuss…
HIV/STD prevention in family planning services: Training as a strategy for change
This paper describes the process of integration of HIV/STD prevention into family planning services of members of the International Planning Parenthood Federation in the Western Hemisphere Region. Staff training was considered to be an essential component in this process of institutional change towards a more client-oriented approach. Training workshops were participatory and tailored to the needs of the individual family planning associations. O…

Human Fertility: The Basic Components
Human Fertility: The Basic Components
In this innovative and comprehensive work, expanded by one-third for the English-language edition, Henri Leridon integrates biology and demography to investigate human fertility, both natural and controlled. Traditionally, demographers have been concerned with birthrates in different populations under varying conditions, while biologists have limited themselves to the study of the reproductive process. Leridon has formulated the first coherent ov…
