Women and adolescent girls are at the center of our work, on issues ranging from sexual and reproductive health and rights, including family planning; HIV; maternal health; and education.
Men and boys must be included in efforts to achieve gender equality and promote equity in programming.
What Works for Women and Girls: Evidence for HIV/AIDS Interventions.
Jill Gay, Melanie Croce-Galis, Karen Hardee. 2016. Washington DC: The Evidence Project, Population Council and What Works Association, Inc.
A comprehensive review of data from HIV/AIDS interventions for women and girls in nearly 100 countries revealed several overarching themes:
WWA contributed to the first gender equality information note for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, and to a checklist on family planning for girls for Girl Effect.
In collaboration with other authors, more recent work assesses how UNDP has performed in gender transformative approaches with grants from the Global Fund. Of particular note is the case study on HIV in Cuba, which incorporated an approach to gender beyond the binary.
Implementing Social Accountability for Contraceptive Services: Lessons from Uganda
Victoria Boydell, Nanono Nulu, Karen Hardee, Jill Gay. BMC Women's Health.
Growing evidence shows that social accountability contributes to improving health care services, with much promise for addressing women’s barriers in contraceptive care. Yet little is known about how social accountability works in the often-complex context of sexual and reproductive health. This paper explores how social accountability operates in the highly gendered and complex context of contraceptive care.
Men as Contraceptive Users: Programs, Outcomes and Recommendations
Karen Hardee, Melanie Croce-Galis, Jill Gay. 2016. Washington, DC: Population Council, The Evidence Project.
Knowledge about reaching men as clients of family planning services in today’s programming environment is still limited. This report reviews 47 current activities, programs, and evidence that affect men’s use of contraceptive methods.
Are men well served by family planning programs?
Karen Hardee, Melanie Croce-Galis, Jill Gay. Reprod Health. 2017 Jan 23;14(1):14.
What is known about reaching men as contraceptive users? This paper draws from a review of 47 interventions that reached men and proposes 10 key considerations for strengthening programming for men as contraceptive users. A review of programming shows that men and boys are not particularly well served by programs.
Dennis Matanda, Melanie Croce-Galis, Jill Gay, Karen Hardee. UNFPA, UNICEF, WHO and Population Council, Kenya.
Despite intensified efforts to build the evidence base globally to inform strategies to address female genital mutilation (FGM), there has been limited rigorous high-quality evidence on what set of interventions are effective in ending the harmful practice. This research report accompanied with a brief, conveys key findings on the quality and strength of existing evidence on FGM interventions from 2008 to 2020.
