Comprehensive contraceptive service delivery in a crisis setting

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) aimed to increase contraceptive use in Nigeria’s Borno State, where under-resourced health clinics failed to meet the SRH needs of women and girls. The IRC scaled up contraceptive use by introducing highly skilled staff, securing essential supplies, engaging community volunteers, and training both traditional birth attendants and government health workers.

Involving Men in Contraception Programming in Conflict Settings

In eastern Chad, the International Rescue Committee worked with religious leaders to increase awareness of contraceptives, attempting to reach women who turned to these leaders for guidance. Despite some resistance, a committee of spiritual leaders encouraging contraceptive use formed, and providers reported a significant uptick in contraception.

Comprehensive contraceptive service delivery in a crisis setting

CARE implemented programming to expand contraceptive services available to women in northern Syria. Midwives and nurses at mobile and static health centers provided oral contraceptives, long-acting reversible contraception, and condoms among additional, more comprehensive SRH services.

Working With Community-Based Health Committees to reduce stock outs of SRH supplies in a crisis-affected setting

In eastern DRC, CARE scaled up the capacity of a village-based supplies monitoring initiative to prevent stock outs of essential SRH supplies, including implants, pain medicine, and high-level disinfectant. The initiative’s strengthened inventory management skills improved the quality and uptake of SRH services in crisis-affected settings.
