Return to Reproductive Health in Crises Projects

The Reproductive Health Assessment (RHA) Toolkit for Conflict-Affected Women was developed to meet the increased need for accurate reproductive health data among conflict-affected populations. The RHA Toolkit informs program planning, monitoring and evaluation, and advocacy efforts. It enables field-based staff with limited survey expertise to collect information about safe motherhood, family planning, sexual history, sexually transmitted infections, HIV/AIDS, gender-based violence, and female genital cutting. It also has sampling instructions, a training manual, questionnaire, data entry program, analysis guide with preprogrammed analyses, and data use suggestions.

Among the world’s 36 million displaced people, approximately 80% are women
and children and are vulnerable to abuses and negative health outcomes during crisis.

The toolkit is available in two formats: order hardcopy or download entire document in   PDF format.
