Briefs & Fact Sheets (
26 February 2010 )
 CEDPA has developed a new strategy that links family planning, reproductive health, maternal and child health, and HIV/AIDS to provide comprehensive, integrated education and services to women and girls. Over our 35 years of work in developing countries, many gains have been made in improving access to family planning but the reproductive health of too many women and men remains poor, especially in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, and the enormous investment in the AIDS response has not adequately been leveraged to improve other reproductive health outcomes. HIV/AIDS continues to devastate Africa. Maternal mortality and morbidity rates have not improved in these regions, though the strategies to make motherhood safer are well known. The CEDPA Reproductive Health and HIV Integration Strategy addresses these ongoing issues affecting women’s lives and wellbeing, and lays out recommendations for future action.

Briefs & Fact Sheets (
30 November 2009 )
 In April 2007, the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) signed an agreement with World Learning and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for the Expanding Voluntary Use of Contraception in the Central Terai Region of Nepal project. Central Terai is home to some of the nation’s most marginalized populations. The project’s goal was to maximize the number of well-planned families resulting from improved family planning and reproductive health practices by utilizing a cadre of trained volunteers to disseminate information, counsel families and provide commodities. The evaluation of the program showed success in improving spousal communication and family planning knowledge in this region of Nepal. This poster presentation was displayed at the 2009 International Conference on Family Planning: Research and Best Practices in Kampala.

The health policy of the state of Jharkhand requires that “family life education” be introduced at appropriate levels in schools and colleges. Jharkhand government initiated a “School AIDS Education Program” (SAEP) through the Jharkhand State AIDS Control Society (JSACS) in June 2003.
