dc.description.abstractThe Bank has hosted various conferences to address issues of male involvement in reproductive health and gender-based violence, yet no projects in the World Bank's portfolio have directly addressed either topic.1 Recent gender-related work in the World Bank's health projects in Latin America has made evident the limited capacity of health personnel and communities to integrate men into family planning and reproductive health programs or to respond effectively to domestic violence cases.2 Midwives at women's birthing centers in Nicaragua, for example, have been challenged with trying to convince men who oppose family planning of the economic difficulties of raising large families.3 Moreover, sheer lack of knowledge and capacity prevents health providers from screening for and providing proper treatment to gender-based violence survivors. The Integral Health Project for Men and Women, or PROSALVAR as it is commonly known, was designed to help build a response to these apparent gaps in healthcare projects in the LCR through pilot activities in three Highly Indebted Poor Countries: Bolivia, Honduras and Nicaragua. Financed by the Bank-Netherlands Partnership Program, the project's main objectives were to build the capacity of staff in health care centers and hospitals to effectively screen for intra-family violence and refer victims to appropriate services, and to better educate and involve men in sexual and reproductive health. As a pilot project, PROSALVAR also sought to help the Bank better understand its operational role in preventing and responding to gender-based violence and in promoting the male involvement agenda.en
