Couple-Based Approaches in Reproductive Health: Implications for Global Policy, Practice, and Research

Tanzania Burkina Faso Nigeria

This extensive technical report and summary brief comprises three core components—a literature review, a global reproductive health policy analysis, and key informant interviews—that explore the extent to which programs and policies consider couple-based approaches (CBAs) as a means to improve reproductive health outcomes, the reasons such approaches do not feature more prominently, and recommendations for program designers/implementers, policy makers, and researchers. It is our hope is that through dissemination of the encouraging findings of this report, E2A can lay the groundwork and point the way to future programming which recognizes the essential role both women and men play in reproductive and family health.
