Voluntary, rights-based family planning (VRBFP) interventions in Nigeria and Uganda improved provider capacity and client rights literacy. These programs demonstrated the feasibility and benefits of integrating rights principles into family planning services.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Reproductive Health
  • Human Rights in Healthcare

Background:

  • Growing emphasis on voluntary, rights-based family planning (VRBFP) highlights a gap in programs aligning with rights principles.
  • Lack of established frameworks for translating international rights into practical family planning services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe two novel VRBFP interventions implemented in Nigeria and Uganda.
  • To conduct implementation research using a rights-based conceptual framework for family planning programming.

Main Methods:

  • Interventions focused on building provider/supervisor capacity in VRBFP through curricula and action plans.
  • Enhanced client rights literacy via facility-based materials and strengthened health committees.
  • Implementation research and outcome measurement in Nigeria.
