DMPA-SC policy and regulatory advocacy landscape

This policy landscape can be leveraged by applicants interested in applying to the DMPA-SC Regulatory Advocacy Catalytic Opportunity Fund (COF). The landscape was originally developed in 2020 to understand policies and regulations, including over-the-counter regulations, that impact women’s access to DMPA-SC and identify short- and long-term advocacy opportunities. In 2022, it was refreshed to understand policy shifts and additional advocacy opportunities in a subset of 12 of the original 18 countries currently eligible for the Regulatory Advocacy COF. Insights from the policy landscape have informed the design and eligibility criteria of the Regulatory Advocacy COF, proactively identified opportunities, and provided frameworks and guidance for interested applicants.

Lessons from Ghana to inform DMPA-SC safe storage and disposal

In the resources linked below, Population Council researchers from the Evidence Project highlight lessons learned from research in Ghana on the expansion of access to DMPA-SC. While improper disposal in pit latrines or open spaces remains a challenge to safely scaling this highly effective method, the authors underscore that with education on safe disposal and provision of appropriate containers, self-injection clients enrolled in a pilot study in Ghana were able to appropriately store and dispose of DMPA-SC.

These results offered evidence for the Ghana Health Service to include provision of safe disposal containers in nation-wide scale-up plans for home-based self-injection, with important implications for other countries seeking to expand access while addressing safety and ecological hazards.
