The Training Resource Package (TRP) for Family Planning’s Progestin-Only Injectable module includes sessions V and VI which are focused on DMPA-SC and self-injection, as well as a number of related handouts and resources. Developed in partnership with the Access Collaborative, these materials are intended for training health care providers who offer progestin-only injectable contraception (“injectables”) in the public or private sector.

The TRP website features training information and materials for a wide range of family planning methods. This includes curriculum components and tools for trainers to design, implement, and evaluate family planning and reproductive health training.

The Family Planning Financing Roadmap is a resource for USAID Mission staff and others working on family planning issues in developing countries. The website is designed to support sustainable family planning approaches for a wide range of users, from those who have very limited knowledge of health financing concepts to those who have some knowledge or experience and are looking to develop a deeper understanding of specific issues. The website has three main sections: learning materials, an interactive roadmap, and a community of practice.

This is an open-access collection of health market literature, featuring documents and related resources needed to understand, develop, and intervene in different global health markets.

This toolkit contains resources designed to help pharmacy associations become effective advocates and begin working to change policies in their countries. The toolkit can be adapted to advocate for any injectable contraceptive. The toolkit includes a Resource for Considering DMPA-SC.

This is a practical reference for global health practitioners working to introduce or scale up medical devices, diagnostics, or other consumer products. Its four-stage model uses case studies to highlight lessons and factors for consideration. Includes a practitioner’s workbook and a toolkit.

This 4-page brief is focused on the use of drug shops to increase access to injectable contraceptives.

Developed by USAID’s MOMENTUM Country and Global Leadership, this virtual course contains information on female anatomy, menstruation, ovulation, and fertilization and what is important to know in offering family planning counseling and services. The course also guides providers to consider the needs of particular sub-populations of clients, such as those experiencing reproductive coercion or whose family planning needs may be overlooked because they are either pregnant or recently gave birth. It is recommended for health care providers, health care workers, and those who provide counseling and services related to family planning.

To facilitate decision-making around the introduction and scale-up of contraceptive technologies, the Expanding Effective Contraceptive Options (EECO) project, led by WCG Cares in partnership with PSI, and USAID’s Center for Innovation and Impact teamed up to create the Contraceptive Innovation Index. On January 25, 2023, EECO and USAID hosted a webinar on the development and use of this tool; the webinar slides and recording are linked below.

This report presents an in-depth analysis of Burkina Faso’s policies, regulations, and guidelines, based on an extensive document review followed by key informant interviews. The findings are organized by select family planning methods, including voluntary surgical contraception, implants, injectables, and pills. The report also includes a section describing COVID-19’s effect on task sharing and self-care policies. The authors recommend policy and regulatory revisions and actions to further improve the country’s family planning and regulatory environment and scale implementation of the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines and note that the Burkina Faso experience may serve as evidence when the WHO next updates its task sharing guidance.

This report presents the results of an initiative to provide the Zambian MOH with operational recommendations for family planning policy and program planning. The primary objectives of the activity were to: 1) understand experiences with the new client-centered DMPA-SC self-injection training model, including clients’ willingness to pay for the product; and 2) identify health system relationships, barriers, and solutions for national scale-up in Zambia.

The team found that DMPA-SC’s unique self-injection feature requires a more client-centered service delivery approach, tailored to the specific needs and preferences of women who seek services from private health providers. This report will help inform country and global learning, in particular the private sector, as countries introduce DMPA-SC and look for ways to engage the private health sector.
