The Design and Delivery of Reproductive Health Services   
Author(s):  Marc Mitchell
Arlette Campbell White
Date of Publication: September 01, 2000

This paper and Module 2 of the Core Course on Population, Reproductive Health and Health Sector Reform are an attempt to highlight some of the tools that are needed for successful implementation of a reproductive health program. It is meant as a guide for planners and implementers of reproductive health programs who are looking for ways to accelerate the progress that has been achieved since the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development. The Programme of Action was deliberately ambitious and has provided the basis for fundamental reappraisal of the way in which health services are delivered in most countries. However, today, more than six years later, it is time to move from policy and rhetoric to better practice and results.
