The R3M Project

With the launch of the R3M Program (Reducing Maternal Morbidity and Mortality) in 2006, EngenderHealth continues to support family planning and long-term and permanent contraceptives in Ghana. As part of a consortium led by the Population Council, EngenderHealth supports the increased use of contraception, especially long-acting and permanent methods, by: updating protocols; providing training to health care providers; expanding contraceptive services; building effective systems for monitoring, supervision, and quality improvement; and developing a comprehensive communications strategy for improving utilization of long-acting and permanent methods. Additional consortium partners include IPAS, Marie Stopes International, Willows Foundation, and the Ministry of Health/Ghana Health Services.
