Integrated Family Planning and Immunization Services in Senegal
While many Senegalese mothers visit health facilities to immunize their newborns, far fewer discuss family planning options with a health worker. Integrating family planning counseling into immunization services is a promising practice to address reproductive health needs in the extended postpartum period. We developed a behaviorally informed model that integrates these two services to help more women access the family planning option that is right for them.

Midterm Review of the Adolescents 360 Program
Add To FavouritesMidterm Review of the Adolescents 360 Program
This midterm review synthesizes evaluation findings from the design phase of A360 and the first few quarters of implementation (Aug 2016 – Sep 2018), drawing together insights from an ongoing process evaluation, a cost-effectiveness analysis, and the baseline findings from an outcome evaluation. Although the review does not determine the effectiveness of the solutions and therefore A360 as a whole, it finds that the value of the A360 approach is starting to emerge, while also highlighting a number of challenges and trade-offs that the consortium continues to navigate. The MTE’s takeaways are useful for evaluators of HCD and adaptive programs (see page 10), and for donors and future ASRH implementers (see page 49).

Structural interventions aiming to enable adolescent use of contraception in low- and middle-income countries
Add To FavouritesStructural interventions aiming to enable adolescent use of contraception in low- and middle-income countries
Reducing adolescent pregnancy is a global public health priority and enabling contraceptive use is one way to achieve this. Broader determinants of contraceptive use, such as poverty, education and social norms, can affect knowledge, attitudes, motivation and ability to access and use contraception. Structural interventions aim to address these broader determinants and include cash transfer interventions, interventions to encourage participation in school, empowerment interventions and interventions aiming to change social norms. We conducted an evidence synthesis to explore a) what structural interventions have been evaluated for their effect on adolescent contraceptive use in low- and middle-income countries and b) how such interventions may work.

A360’s Learning and Growth since the 2018 Mid-Term Evaluation
Add To FavouritesA360’s Learning and Growth since the 2018 Mid-Term Evaluation
This report presents A360’s reflections from its programs on adolescent contraceptive service delivery in three countries; Ethiopia, Tanzania and Nigeria. These learnings are generated through cross learning across the different contexts, and are focused on the adaptive management of A360’s programs during the first two and a half years of implementation. Furthermore, the report also offers considerations to be taken into account for future implementation of A360’s programs. This is a useful resource for ASRH practitioners who would like to learn more about adaptive management of programs post implementation.

Add To FavouritesA Girl with a Plan! Reimagining Contraceptive Services with and for Adolescent Girls in Ethiopia, Nigeria and Tanzania unlocks hope… and rapid contraceptive uptake
This brief highlights how the A360 blueprint developed from insights gathered in Ethiopia (Smart Start), Nigeria (9ja Girls) and Tanzania (Kuwa Mjanja), were not only used to reframe messaging around contraceptive use, but also applies the design mindset of empathy in developing solutions tailored to meet a wide array of girls with unique needs. It presents case examples of this based on the three countries, outlining approaches used to engage, inspire and serve adolescent girls.
