The goal of the resource
Tailored for users with different needs
– For comprehensive programmingor
– To strengthen single or multiple elements within the health system
Recognizes programme interventions require holistic perspective and need to be evidence-informed

The method of work
The process– 'Map' existing guidance on the topic– Interview public health officials from selected countries
for contextual input– Synthesize the published evidence– Develop the draft document
• Meeting of expert to review draft document in July 2012 (Washington .DC)
• WHO Technical consultation to finalize document in September 2012 (Geneva, Switzerland)
• Multiple reviews of drafts among experts to produce final document

Linking assessment to potential interventions
Illustrative findings Potential programme interventions
High rates of breastfeeding Introduce LAM and counsel on transitioning to other effective contraceptive methods
High rates of staff rotation within and among facilities
Strengthen policies and practices to address staff development and retention to ensure that providers with FP skills are avialable within ANC, labour and delviery and postnatal care.
Low modern contraceptive prevalence Train community health workers to integrate community education and individual counseling about LAM, healthy timing and spacing, and exclusive breastfeeding with referral for other FP methods as a routine part of care
