Training of health care providers is one of the most common interventions used in development strategies to improve the quality of reproductive health and family planning (RH/FP) services in developing countries.

Greater use of long-acting and permanent methods (LAPMs) of contraception – intrauterine devices (IUD), implants, and sterilization – has the potential to increase continuation rates and reduce unintended pregnancies.

This brief, developed through a collaborative effort by JSI and PSP-One, synthesizes best practices in achieving reproductive health and family planning (RH/FP) goals for the E&E region, and highlights the role of the private sector in meeting these goals.

The Abt Associates-led PSP-One project co-sponsored a workshop with the World Health Organization’s Department of Reproductive Health and Research (WHO/RHR) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia May 7 – 10, 2008.

Entitled "Network for Africa: Building Public-Private Linkages to Advance Priority Health Services," the four-day workshop aimed to develop national capacity to design and manage partnerships with private sector stakeholders to address reproductive health/family planning and HIV/AIDS-related health challenges.

El presente documento reporta los resultados del estudio cualitativo realizado en 2007 y 2008 por el proyecto PSP-One en tres departamentos de Guatemala (Guatemala, Izabal y Quetzaltenango), cuyos objetivos han sido:

1. Describir los conocimientos y prácticas de los proveedores de clínicas y laboratorios privados sobre el VIH y los servicios de prueba de VIH con orientación (PVO).
2. Identificar las características del estigma de los proveedores privados en relación a las mujeres trabajadoras sexuales (MTS), hombres que tienen sexo con hombres (HSH), las personas viviendo con VIH/SIDA (PVVS), y con respecto al VIH.
3. Describir las experiencias de las MTS, HSH y PVVS en los servicios privados de PVO.

El estudio se orienta hacia la definición de acciones para el mejoramiento de los servicios de PVO, siendo este, la contraparte de un estudio similar realizado con usuarios y proveedores del sector público. El universo del estudio fue de 133 personas.

For over a decade, many businesses have experienced increased costs and reduced productivity as a result of HIV/AIDS. Many companies are responding to the HIV/AIDS crisis through investment in prevention programs, especially in employee education and condom distribution.
