the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva by WHO, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and Family Health International (FHI). The June 2009 consultation concluded that evidence supports the introduction, continuation, and scale-up of community-based provision of progestin-only injectable contraception. The evidence review for the meeting identified 16 projects in nine countries with documented evidence on provision of injectable contraception by community health workers. It was the first such review to be undertaken. Thirty technical and program experts reviewed this evidence as well as program experiences in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Increased demand for injectable contraceptives and overburdened health systems have prompted the increased provision of injectables by community health workers. This brief can serve as a valuable advocacy tool for those working to expand access to contraceptive options, especially for underserved populations.</p> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </index-this> <td width="220" valign="top"> <div id="sidebar"> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td valign="top" id="sidebarEmail" width="220"> <h3>Get E-mail Digests</h3> <div class="sidebarText">  <p>Receive a customized monthly update on newly added documents and events. <a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/subscribe/new/">Learn More</a></p> <form method="POST" name="subNew" action="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/subscribe/action.php" onsubmit="return checkEmailField(this)"> <input type="text" size="15" name="email" onfocus="this.value=''" value="Your e-mail here" class="formTextbox"> <input type="submit" value="Go" class="formBtnGo"> <input type="hidden" name="act" value="check_email"> </form> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/subscribe/">Manage your subscription</a></li> </ul>  </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="height: 6px;"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" id="sidebarSearch"> <h3>Browse Documents</h3> <div class="sidebarText"> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/documents/">All Documents</a> (3244)</li> <li><a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/partners/">By Contributing Partner</a> (148)</li> <li>By Topic<br/> <form method="get" action="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/documents/" name="filterForm"> <select name="topic_id"> <option value="">All</option> <option value="17">Abortion/post-abortion care</option> <option value="6">Adolescents/youth</option> <option value="18">Behavior change interventions</option> <option value="7">Cervical cancer</option> <option value="8">Child health/survival</option> <option value="19">Environment and health/population</option> <option value="9">Family planning</option> <option value="20">Female genital cutting</option> <option value="21">Financing/management</option> <option value="10">Gender</option> <option value="13">HIV/AIDS, general</option> <option value="22">HIV/AIDS prevention</option> <option value="23">HIV/AIDS care/treatment</option> <option value="24">Immunization</option> <option value="29">Infectious diseases, other</option> <option value="14">Maternal health/survival</option> <option value="25">Nutrition</option> <option value="26">Policy/Law</option> <option value="15">Population growth/trends</option> <option value="27">Reproductive health, general</option> <option value="28">Service delivery</option> <option value="16">Sexual health/STIs</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="Go" class="formBtnGo"> </form> </li> <li>By Keyword:<br/> <form method="get" action="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/cgi-bin/texis/webinator/elibsearch/"> <input type="text" name="query" size="15" class="formTextbox"> <input type="submit" value="Go" class="formBtnGo"> </form> </li> <li><a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/stats/">View top requested documents for all topics</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/help/index.php#1">Access documents by e-mail</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/index.xml"><img src="/web/20100705102204im_/http://www.phishare.org/images2/xml.gif" alt="RSS Feed" width="36" height="14" border="0"> Get RSS feed of latest InfoShare documents</a> <a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/help/rss.php">[what is this?]</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/request/">Download full catalog</a></li> </ul> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="height: 6px;"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" id="sidebarBecomePartner"> <h3>Become a Contributing Partner</h3> <div class="sidebarText"> <p>InfoShare's mission is to advance knowledge in global public health through information sharing and exchange. </p> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/register/">Become a Contributing Partner</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/partners/">See list of all Contributing Partners</a> (148)</li> </ul> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <div id="footer"> <p style="float: right; width: 220px; text-align: right;"><a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/help/">Help</a> | <a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/about/terms.php">Terms of Use</a> | <a href="/web/20100705102204/http://www.phishare.org/about/privacy.php">Privacy</a></p> <p>© 2003-2010, InfoShare.<p> <p style="clear: both;">Administered by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100705102204/http://www.prb.org/">Population Reference Bureau</a> Powered by <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100705102204/http://www.forumone.com/">Forum One Communications</a>. </p> </div> </td>  </tr> </table> </div>  </body> </html>
