Emergency Contraception (EC)
Yes, you can. – Discussing EC does not violate Mexico City
Policy– EC is not an abortifacient
New WHO data– Levonorgestrel - better efficacy and fewer
side effects

Why bother? EC is the ONLY post-coital contraception available.– High unintended pregnancy/unsafe
abortion rates– Increase in focus on dual protection and
condom promotion– Increase in services for victims of sexual
assault You don’t need a dedicated product.

Post Abortion Care (PAC)
PAC is a service delivery strategy built around three elements– emergency treatment of complications of
spontaneous or induced abortion– post abortion family planning couseling,
referral and services– linkages to other reproductive health
services

You may not need MVA. – If SC and D&C are available , MVA not
necessarily required. – Need to weigh the few advantages against
the introduction costs. It’s easier and more effective to
introduce PAC when there are viable post-partum contraception programs.– Contraception may be provided directly or
through referrals.

Involve men.– They want to participate.– Their participation increases the likelihood
of positive outcomes. PAC should be decentralized and
extended to outpatient services in health centers and posts.– MVA is needed for this.

Gender
What is gender?– The economic, social, political and cultural
attributes and opportunities associated with being male or female.
– The social definitions of what it means to be male or female vary among cultures and change over time.

Taking gender into consideration maximizes reproductive health outcomes.
USAID directives – ADS 200 & 300 series require integration
of gender in RFAs and RFPs The Interagency Gender Working Group
– What it is and how it can help you
