Policy Programs
USAID works with developing nations to achieve policies
and plans that promote and sustain access to high-quality
family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) services.
USAID helps developing country professionals manage
censuses, conduct surveys, and carry out policy analyses,
strategic planning, and program evaluation both to promote
policy dialogue and to improve access to family planning
services. Through collection and analyses of family
planning and other reproductive health information,
USAID works to:
- broaden and strengthen
political and popular support for FP/RH
- improve planning and financing
for FP/RH
- ensure that accurate, up-to-date,
and relevant information informs policy decisions
- enhance in-country and
regional capacity to provide policy training
This work is carried out in a
number of areas including advocacy at both the grassroots
and grasstops level; policy formulation; research; and
capacity building. USAID works with national and local
governments, nongovernmental organizations, women's
groups, religious groups, grassroots organizations and
professional associations, commercial organizations,
and research institutions.
