Sexual and reproductive health

UNFPA/WHO country office capacity building

Workshops

A 4 year project jointly implemented by UNFPA and WHO was recently completed. Four regional workshops were produced, using a core curriculum built around changes in aid modalities, government planning and budgeting processes and implications for increasing resources for Sexual and Reproductive Health. This curriculum is available upon request for other capacity building initiatives. A final wrap up assessment in 2011 produced four country case studies and a synthesis report that explored how the evolution of trends in aid effectiveness have changed the way that WHO and UNFPA work at country level to support Sexual and Reproductive Health.

Report of a technical consultation meeting: wrap-up assessment of the 2008–2011 UNFPA–WHO collaborative project

Front cover

The results from the 2011 case-studies marked an increasingly complex aid environment, with new stakeholders and partnerships for development, and a number of mechanisms seeking to coordinate donor contributions in sectoral and national planning processes. In addition to the sector-wide approaches and poverty-reduction strategy papers that were the focus of country office engagement in 2005, there is an increasing emphasis on MDG 5 in the past 6 years. While this has raised awareness of issues around maternal and newborn health, other aspects of Sexual and Reproductive Health have been marginalized in terms of both country priorities and donor support.
