In Kenya and Bangladesh, Jhpiego works with private pharmacies and direct-to-consumer platforms to make family planning products and information accessible, affordable, and high-quality. Women and couples receive not only supplies, but also counseling and referrals for any additional reproductive health needs.

In Nigeria, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, and Pakistan, we integrate family planning information and services into other health care, such as antenatal and postpartum visits and HIV-related care. This holistic, woman-centered approach means family planning can be offered when women want it, making care more convenient.

In Zambia, Nigeria, and Pakistan, Jhpiego expands access to self-administered contraceptives like DMPA-SC and shares information via hotlines and community health workers. Women can learn about and choose the methods that work best for them, on their own terms, and then control what happens next.

In Ghana and Pakistan, we introduce products like hormonal IUDs and DMPA-SC into the public health system to expand contraceptive options for everyone. This includes integrating new methods into standards, guidelines, essential medicines lists, and national strategies, as well as ensuring providers are trained to offer quality counseling and care. We update curricula and build mentorship networks so knowledge can be shared widely across health care teams.

In Pakistan, Zambia, and Nigeria we amplify the voices of clients and frontline health workers to prioritize the contraceptive products and services that truly meet their needs. Through research and ongoing feedback, we adjust how new methods are introduced and delivered. We also coach health system staff on how to quickly spot and address challenges as new methods scale-up, keeping the focus on upholding choice, especially for those hardest to reach.

Through our global Supporting Markets for Post-Introduction Contraceptive Technologies project, we steward products like contraceptive implants to ensure continued access and choice. We coordinate partnerships and alliances with suppliers, funders, and other partners, and identify and address barriers, provide actionable data and recommendations, and map the market to strengthen access to products across sectors.

Everywhere we work, we focus on equipping health workers with tools for unbiased, person-centered counseling. This ensures clients are heard, respected, and supported in making the choices that are right for them. When helpful, we also introduce technology-enabled decision-making tools that support both clients and providers in reaching informed choices.

In Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, our Challenge Initiative regional hub helps governments and partners mobilize domestic resources for family planning and adolescent and youth reproductive health. Through joint planning, local investment, and targeted advocacy, we’ve increased government commitments and spending to expand evidence-based interventions to improve health outcomes. This approach meets local needs while fostering political buy-in, cost-efficiency, and sustainable, scalable impact.

In the Philippines, we work with local leaders and communities to challenge harmful gender and social norms and prioritize sexual and reproductive health, especially in areas prone to climate-related disruptions like flooding. By promoting women’s active role in health committees and disaster planning, we ensure sexual and reproductive health services are more resilient, inclusive, and responsive to community needs.

In India, Jhpiego partners with the Technical Support Unit in Uttar Pradesh to demonstrate integrated service delivery improvements in two districts. Our efforts focus on expanding post-pregnancy (especially post-abortion) family planning, by strengthening systems for maternal health, newborn and child health, and human resources, and showcasing successful models for the wider health system.

In Indonesia, we led a participatory systems-thinking process with private midwives, hospital managers, and government leaders to map out the factors affecting postpartum family planning amid economic and societal shifts. This revealed key opportunities—from improving insurance systems to building public–private partnerships—to sustainably expand access to contraceptive care and counseling for years to come.

Through human-centered design, we elevate the voices of women, adolescents, and frontline providers, making sure their lived experiences drive innovation. For example, in Kenya we apply design thinking to improve the experience of getting contraceptive care from digital sources like e-pharmacies—building not only better services now but also a foundation for health systems that promote autonomy, equity, and dignity for the future.

We think foresight is an essential component for the future of family planning and sexual and reproductive health. This means mobilizing collective imagination so the field can anticipate change, resist shrinking possibilities, and co-create futures where reproductive health thrives. We increasingly deploy these tools and tactics across our portfolio, embedding foresight to ensure family planning and sexual and reproductive health strategies remain resilient, responsive, and centered on people.
