The Dapivirine Ring design guide: Human-Centered Design Research to Increase Uptake and Use
Add To FavouritesThe Dapivirine Ring design guide: Human-Centered Design Research to Increase Uptake and Use
This publication is useful for implementers and other stakeholders, introducing readers to a set of tested HCD concepts and tools that can be customized to the local context and integrated into programming. It gives an overview of design concepts and how they were developed through user research, journey mapping, and persona development. Second, a supplementary asset library provides resources such as editable templates and supporting visuals for select concepts. These assets are a starting point for individuals to adapt existing concepts according to the needs of the communities and stakeholders served.

Aligning Contraception with Family and Life Goals of Married Adolescent Girls in Northern Nigeria: The Case of Matasa Matan Arewa
Add To FavouritesAligning Contraception with Family and Life Goals of Married Adolescent Girls in Northern Nigeria: The Case of Matasa Matan Arewa
This publication captures the journey of Matasa Matan Arewa, an A360 program implemented in Northern Nigeria. The technical brief walks the reader through how this program was designed and implemented to address SRH needs of Nigerian adolescents and promote contraception uptake in a particular community. It first describes the ASRH landscape in Nigeria to explain the need of this intervention, and then offers a step-by-step account of the HCD process used to generate insights from the community and design interventions that speak to adolescents’ aspirations and needs.

Integrating Human-Centered Design in a Multidisciplinary Effort to Address Provider Bias: a Summary of the Beyond Bias Experience (Part 3)
Add To FavouritesIntegrating Human-Centered Design in a Multidisciplinary Effort to Address Provider Bias: a Summary of the Beyond Bias Experience (Part 3)
This executive summary unpacks the use of HCD in ‘Beyond Bias’, an adolescent focused project that addresses provider bias. Along with providing an overview of the HCD methodology used, and the solutions generated by the project, this publication also reflects on the use of HCD in an ASRH project. It highlights the value additions of using human centered design, the key challenges that were faced, and important recommendations informed by project learnings. This is a good resource for designers and ASRH implementers to understand the application, benefits and limitations of the HCD process in the context of ASRH.

Structural interventions to enable adolescent contraceptive use in low and middle income countries: What has been evaluated and how should future interventions be developed?
Add To FavouritesStructural interventions to enable adolescent contraceptive use in low and middle income countries: What has been evaluated and how should future interventions be developed?
Adolescent pregnancy rates in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are high and reducing these rates is an indicator for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Enabling contraceptive use amongst sexually active adolescents is an important way to help address this. Most interventions tend to focus on providing contraceptives and family planning services or information and education to encourage girls to use contraception. However, these interventions do not usually address the broader factors that affect girls’ ability to access and use contraception. Structural interventions are those that address this broader context, such as interventions that aim to increase girls’ education, reduce poverty and/or increase their economic empowerment, or shift social norms around gender, adolescent sexuality or fertility.
This brief summarizes the findings of an evidence synthesis that examined structural interventions to enable adolescent contraceptive use in LMICs. The authors identify which structural interventions have been evaluated and offer recommendations on how future interventions could be developed to optimize their impact.

Connecting Contraception to Girls’ Lives and Aspirations in Southern Nigeria: The Case of 9ja Girls
Add To FavouritesConnecting Contraception to Girls’ Lives and Aspirations in Southern Nigeria: The Case of 9ja Girls
Led by PSI and implemented by SFH Nigeria, 9ja Girls works in partnership with A360 young leaders and across Nigeria’s public health facilities to support unmarried girls aged 15-19 to identify their dreams, and then understand the role contraception can play to take them one step closer to achieving their goals. This technical brief presents the case of 9ja Girls, offering lessons for similar ASRH programs seeking to design and implement scalable, sustainable, community-based programming with and for adolescents.

A360 Emerging Insights for Design
Add To FavouritesA360 Emerging Insights for Design
This deck summarises insights gathered by the A360 team for designing the Smart Start program in Ethiopia. It shares what the design team learned about young girls’ motivations behind SRH-related behaviour and decisions. The deck starts with giving information about the methodology behind insight generation, and then goes into findings about young girls’ behaviour, cultural norms, and traditional contraception messaging. Finally, creators of the deck share themes that they thought were relevant for consideration, and offer recommendations on how the intervention can be designed. This is a good tool to understand how insight generation happens in an HCD process, but may not necessarily be helpful to someone who is unaware of HCD.
