Additional Case Studies and Evaluations
- Poverty, Gender, and Youth – Fertility Transition in Developing Countries:
Progress or Stagnation? [PDF, 442KB]
This study, published by the Population Council, examines the
pace of fertility change in developing countries that have multiple Demographic Health Surveys (DHS) to
determine whether ongoing transitions are decelerating or stalling.
- Contraceptive Trends in Developing Countries
This study, published by the MEASURE DHS project, examines trends and differentials in key FP indicators in 35 developing countries. The data are for countries with a DHS conducted between 2000 and 2005. The study investigates how knowledge of contraception and use of contraception have changed; whether public-private, urban-rural, and other differentials in contraceptive use have narrowed; and whether women are making informed decisions about the use of contraception.
- Voices From the Village: Improving Lives Through CARE’s Sexual
and Reproductive Health Programs [PDF, 768KB]
This article reviews how CARE and USAID introduced an FP program to remote,
war-torn Maniema province in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and describes the results achieved and lessons learned on how to meet the needs for reproductive health services in post-conflict environments.
- Lessons Learned From Phaseout of Donor Support in a National Family Planning Program: The Case of Mexico [PDF, 546KB]
Throughout the world, a number of countries are facing withdrawal of funding and technical assistance for their FP programs – a trend known throughout the FP community as “phaseout” or “graduation.” This case study of Mexico provides an in-depth look at a national FP program before, during, and after phaseout, and documents the lessons learned from that process.
- Family Planning – An African Village's Position
An account of how a small village in Ghana is using FP to improve the health of its children and mothers, while safely and effectively increasing its population size.
- Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries (Second Edition):
Chapter 57 - Contraception
Disease Control Priorities in Developing Countries (Second Edition) highlights achievable goals; measures progress toward providing efficient, equitable care; promotes cost-effective interventions for targeted populations; and encourages integrated efforts to optimize health.
