Incorporating Male Gender Norms into Family Planning and Reproductive Health Programs
ثبت نشده
چکیده
It provides family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) program planners and implementers with suggestions for how to incorporate activities that address male gender norms into their portfolios.

This brief is designed to help FP/RH program planners and implementers in ministries of health, governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and community-based groups in developing countries to develop and implement more effective FP/RH programs.
