Implementation Science Approaches to Family Planning and Reproductive Health: Experiential Learning and Sharing for Implementers, Policy-makers, Researchers, and Advocates

This interactive half-day auxiliary session at ICFP 2016 in Nusa Dua, Bali provided participants with practical examples of how implementation science (IS) can inform programming and policies related to family planning and reproductive health. Presentations, case studies, and group discussions sought to address the following questions:

  1. What are the benefits and challenges or limitations of an IS approach to FP/RH programming?
  2. What is the relationship between evidence and advocacy?
  3. How can evidence be best utilized to inform the scale up of programming and best practices?
  4. How can we engage stakeholders and build institutional capacity to leverage IS approaches?
