Background
In order to support countries strengthen the linkages between MC services and ASRH, WHO developed a guidance document with Promundo, with inputs from Engender Health. The document needed significant further development before it was used by services providers, youth NGOs and others.
WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA planned a meeting in Durban, South Africa from the 9th-12th, May, 2010, with the following mandates
to further develop this guidance, with mandates to review the guidelines that had been prepared and make suggestions for improvements, in terms of content and format; to redraft the guidance based on these suggestions; to identify resource materials that are available in the subregion on ASRH that would support the use of the guidance; and to agree on approaches for field-testing the next version and next steps for their use.
Results
A revised version of the MC/ASRH guidance,
A protocol for field-testing, who should do, though the time frame was not agreed upon
A plan for strengthening MC/ASRH linkages was developed.
