Online Resources
 
Advance Africa Best Practices Compendium
This online compendium of best practices in family planning and reproductive health is designed to facilitate the identification, documentation, and dissemination of best practices between rather than within organizations. However, the background materials at this site may help program managers learn how to identify and document internal best practices and adapt them to other sites.
 
Delivery of Improved Services for Health (DISH) Project
This web site demonstrates how one program identified and documented its internal best practices. Seven best practices are posted online:
Adolescent friendly reproductive health services (AFRHS)
  • Long term and permanent family planning methods marketing strategy
  • Using the health management information system (HMIS) for improved planning and decision making
  • Improving the quality of health care services through monitoring of standards and recognition of performance: The Yellow Star Program
  • Nze N’owange: A community and radio game show for family planning
  • Norplant training for health workers
  • Pre-testing methodology  
EC/UNFPA Initiative for Reproductive Health in Asia (RHI)
This special initiative for reproductive health in Asia brought together the European Commission, UNFPA, and over 80 NGOs and other organizations to develop and implement projects in adolescent reproductive health, community-based reproductive health services, and quality reproductive health services. The project continues with a new focus on youth as EC/UNFPA Reproductive Health Initiative for Youth in Asia.  One of RHI's goals was to share best practices and lessons learned among its more than 40 projects.  Best practice related publications include: Learning from Partnerships.
 
Implementing Best Practices (IBP) Initiative
A collaborative network of more than 24 international partner agencies, the IBP Initiative supports the introduction, adaptation and use of evidence-based practices to improve the quality of reproductive health services. It works through regional- and country-level networks and programs to develop a knowledge-sharing culture focused on harmonizing approaches and reducing duplication of effort to translate evidence into practice.
