Evaluating the Impact of Sexual and Reproductive Health Interventions in Africa

The Sexual Reproductive Health Project by the INDEPTH Network seeks to assess the demographic and health impacts of reproductive health (RH) and family planning (FP) interventions across various African sites. Utilizing a Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) platform, the project leverages both existing and new data to evaluate RH and FP programs. Key workshops have led to focused areas for research, including adolescent reproductive behavior and the determinants of unwanted pregnancies, aimed at reorienting interventions for maximum efficacy.
