Advancing Family Planning
Across the globe, we have proven that even in resource-poor settings, family planning services can be safe, effective, and affordable. Learn about our work in contraception, informed choice, and more.
Maternal Health
Our approach to maternal health is holistic, addressing women’s sexual and reproductive health needs throughout their lives. We work to equip health facilities with medical supplies and well-trained staff to provide high-quality services.
Youth-Centered Programs
EngenderHealth believes in comprehensive sexuality education, providing age-appropriate information consistent with the evolving capacities of young people. Our adolescent/youth-friendly services are accessible, acceptable, equitable, appropriate, and effective.
Gender Equality
We are committed to achieving gender equality through sexual and reproductive health and rights programs. We work through gender-equitable approaches to ensure women and girls can access quality sexual and reproductive health information and services.
HIV, AIDS, and Sexually Transmitted Infections
To help overcome the global HIV epidemic, we train health providers, improve health services, and advocate for national and international policies that respond to the needs of people living with HIV.
Engaging Men As Partners in Reproductive Health
Addressing gender issues is essential to improving the health of both women and men. Through our Men As Partners program and other initiatives, we mobilize men to support their partners’ reproductive health, promote gender equity, and reduce gender-based violence.
Improving Clinical Quality
We improve the quality of health care by training providers to be responsive and informative, to prevent infection at the facility, and to increase communication among staff. Our pioneering COPE® process has been adapted around the world.
Advocacy and Policy
We work locally, globally, and in the United States to influence evidence-based policy change that will lead to lasting improvements in reproductive health care services.
Major Projects
EngenderHealth is the managing partner of several major projects—consortiums of organizations working in partnership to achieve the maximum impact on public health. These projects range from global to country-specific.
