Future‐Proofing the ICPD PoA
This commentary discusses the issue of low and declining fertility and the enduring relevance of the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) Programme of Action (PoA) in this new demographic context. We explore low‐fertility trends, patterns, and determinants; fertility in the context of the ICPD PoA; and the recent pushback against sexual and reproductive health, rights, and gender equality. We conclude with various ac…
What About Well‐Being? Measuring What We Really Care About in Sexual and Reproductive Health
The well‐being of individuals and communities is increasingly recognized as a core objective of economic and global development policies and programs. However, existing measures of well‐being neglect sexual and reproductive experiences, which are core dimensions of people's lives. While there has been increasing attention to the concept of sexual well‐being, measures of sexual and reproductive health are predominantly deficit‐based and ignore whe…
Navigating Change in the Family Planning and Reproductive Health Landscape
Hostilities faced by people on the frontlines of sexual and reproductive health and rights
Frontline workers for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) provide life-changing and life-saving services to millions of people every year. From accompanying the pregnant, delivering babies and caring for the newborn to supporting those subjected to sexual violence; from treating debilitating infections to expanding contraceptive choices; from enabling access to safe abortion services to countering homophobia: all over the world front…
Hidden in plain sight
In recent years there has been extensive promotion of long-acting reversible contraceptives (LARC) globally to increase access to what is widely considered a highly effective contraceptive method. Yet, despite these efforts, evidence points towards the worrying propensity for LARCS to be associated with coercion. Hence, we undertook a meta-narrative review across nine databases to draw together the heterogeneous and complex evidence on the coerci…
Can payment by results ensure equitable access to contraceptive services? a qualitative case study
The use of PbR KPIs incentivised several strategies to reach adolescents and people living in poverty. However, the use of global indicators was too simplistic, resulting in several methodological issues
Multi-disciplinary support for families with complex needs and children on the edge of care in the UK
Families on the 'edge of care' face complex intersecting issues that can work against positive changes and lead to the re-involvement of social care. A multi-disciplinary service working alongside social work and community services teams to respond to the multiple needs of vulnerable families was evaluated. A mixed methods evaluation drew upon service data and cost saving modelling, interviews and a survey of social care practitioners. The evalua…
The Methodological Approach to a Process Evaluation of a Community and Provider-Driven Social Accountability Intervention to Increase Contraceptive Uptake and Use
The community and provider-driven social accountability intervention (CAPSAI) project was a complex intervention consisting of interacting components, actors and processes, implemented in Ghana and Tanzania from 2018 to 2020. It aimed to measure the impact of a social accountability intervention implemented in family planning services, on contraceptive uptake and use. The intervention incorporated a process evaluation to identify key causal pathw…
Defending frontline defenders of sexual and reproductive health rights
A summative content analysis of how programmes to improve the right to sexual and reproductive health address power
INTRODUCTION: Power shapes all aspects of global health. The concept of power is not only useful in understanding the current situation, but it is also regularly mobilised in programmatic efforts that seek to change power relations. This paper uses summative content analysis to describe how sexual and reproductive health (SRH) programmes in low-income and middle-income countries explicitly and implicitly aim to alter relations of power. METHODS: …
Adjusting the analytical aperture
The ever-expanding availability of reproductive technologies, the continued roll-out of ‘family planning’ and maternity services across low- and middle-income settings and the rapid development of the fertility industry mean that it is more likely than ever that individuals, especially women and gender non-conforming people, will engage with more than one RT at some point in their life. These multiple engagements with RTs will affect users’ expec…
Getting Intentional about Intention to Use
In recent years, there has been much reflection on the measures used to assess and monitor contraceptive programming outcomes. The meaning and measurement of intention‐to‐use (ITU) contraception, however, has had less attention and research despite its widespread inclusion in many major surveys. This paper takes a deeper look at the meaning and measurement of ITU around contraception. We conducted a scoping review guided by the following question…
Unmasking power as foundational to research on sexual and reproductive health and rights
Relations of power are intrinsic to the social \ndeterminants of sexual and reproductive \nhealth (SRH); they influence the content, \nquality and outcomes of SRH care; and they \nshape the negotiation and realisation of \nsexual and reproductive health and rights \n(SRHR) more broadly. Power dynamics \npervade how SRHR is understood, studied \nand acted on, in ways that are distinct from \nother health issues.1 For example, the deeply \nheld per…
A Rapid Review of Sexual Pleasure in First Sexual Experience(s)
While researchers have thoroughly studied the who, what, and when of first sexual experiences, we know much less about how people construct, experience, and proceed (or not) with sexual pleasure in these experiences and beyond. To address this knowledge gap, the Global Advisory Board for Sexual Health and Wellbeing (GAB) coordinated a rapid review of published peer-reviewed research to determine what is currently known about sexual pleasure in fi…
