Men Deliver: Men’s Role in Family Planning

in

Women Deliver 2010, "Delivering solutions for girls and women," will focus on political, economic, social/cultural and technological solutions to achieve Millennium Development Goal 5 – to improve maternal health.

ICRW will participate in Women Deliver 2010, including a panel discussion, "Men Deliver: Men's Role in Family Planning." This panel will explore questions around men's roles: Where is the evidence for engaging men in family planning? Do we know it works? What are men’s own family planning needs? How can we engage young men as community-based distribution agents? How can we scale up family planning interventions with men?  Panelists will also discuss the achievements and challenges faced by the Young Men as Equal Partners programme in Zambia.
