The Enabling Change for Women’s Reproductive Health (ENABLE) Project, implemented during 1998-2003 in Ghana, India, Nepal, Nigeria and Senegal, aimed to strengthen women’s capabilities for informed and autonomous decision making to prevent unintended pregnancy and improve reproductive health. ENABLE worked to bring reproductive health services closer to isolated rural communities and urban slums by collaborating with community organizations to offer local services plus referrals to health facilities. In addition to assisting individuals, ENABLE worked to change the overall social and cultural climate that influences reproductive health decision making and limits access to health services. This final report summarizes the ENABLE Project’s key accomplishments and describes strategies that are suitable for replication.
