The 1994 Cairo Conference and Program of Action changed how we do business, and opened many doors, but the agenda is not complete and has stalled in a number of ways. At the country level, governments and donors are making difficult choices about how and where to allocate scarce human and financial resources. Funding approaches have moved away from the implementation of narrowly directed health programs to a broader approach of health system development and reform. At the same time, countries are also centering their development agenda on the broad goal of poverty reduction. This volume addresses a large knowledge and capacity gap in the Reproductive Health community and provides tools for key actors to empower faster positive change. It is a synopsis of the materials developed for World Bank's Institute's learning program on Achieving the Millennium Development Goals: Poverty Reduction, Reproductive Health and Health Sector Reform. The volume brings together knowledge about epidemiology, demography, economics, and trends in global financial assistance. The volume also introduces practical tools such as benefit incidence analysis, costing, and stakeholder analysis to strengthen the evidence base for policy and to address the political economy factors for reform.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABORTIONABORTION RATEACCEPTABLE METHODS OF FAMILY PLANNINGACCESS TO CONTRACEPTIVESACCESS TO HEALTH CAREADOLESCENT HEALTHADOLESCENTSADVOCACY EFFORTSANTENATAL CAREBEHAVIOR CHANGECAPACITY BUILDINGCHILD HEALTHCHILD HEALTH SERVICESCHILD MORTALITYCHILDBIRTHCOMPLICATIONSCOMPLICATIONS OF PREGNANCYCONTRACEPTIVE PREVALENCEDELIVERY CAREDEMOGRAPHERSDEMOGRAPHIC CHANGESDEMOGRAPHIC GOALSDEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISEASESDISSEMINATIONDOMESTIC VIOLENCEECONOMIC GROWTHEMPOWERMENT OF WOMENEPIDEMICEPIDEMIOLOGYFAMILIESFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY PLANNING PROGRAMSFAMILY PLANNING SERVICESFEMALE GENITAL CUTTINGFEMALE GENITAL MUTILATIONFERTILITYFERTILITY TRENDSFORMS OF VIOLENCEGENDER DISPARITYGENDER EQUALITYGENDER ISSUESGENDER RELATIONSGENITAL MUTILATIONGLOBAL HEALTHGLOBAL POPULATIONGLOBAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHGOVERNMENT POLICIESHARMFUL PRACTICESHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH CARE SYSTEMSHEALTH CONSEQUENCESHEALTH INITIATIVESHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH MINISTRIESHEALTH NEEDSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH REFORMHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SECTOR REFORMHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH SYSTEMHEALTH SYSTEM REFORMHEALTH SYSTEMSHEALTH-SECTORHEALTHY INFANTHIVHIV INFECTIONSHOLISTIC APPROACHHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RIGHTSILL HEALTHILLNESSILLNESSESIMPACT ON HEALTHINDIVIDUAL HEALTHINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATEINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFECTION RATESINTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON POPULATIONINTERNATIONAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHINTERVENTIONLEADING CAUSESLEADING CAUSES OF DEATHLEGAL STATUSLIFE EXPECTANCYLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESLOW-INCOME SETTINGSMALE INVOLVEMENTMARKET ECONOMYMARKETINGMATERNAL DEATHSMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATIOMEDICAL RESEARCHMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMINISTRY OF HEALTHMODERN CONTRACEPTIVE METHODSMORBIDITYMORTALITYMOTHERMOTHER-TO-CHILDNUTRITIONNUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIESOBSTETRIC EMERGENCIESOBSTETRIC SERVICESOF WOMENPATIENTPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLICY-MAKING PROCESSPOLITICAL DECISIONPOOR NUTRITIONPOOR WOMENPOPULATION AND DEVELOPMENTPOPULATION ASSISTANCEPOPULATION COUNCILPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION GROWTH TRENDSPOPULATION INCREASEPOPULATION POLICIESPOPULATION PROGRAMSPOPULATION SIZEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPRACTITIONERSPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPROGRESSPUBLIC HEALTHQUALITY OF SERVICESQUANTITATIVE MEASURESREFERRAL SYSTEMREFUGEESREGULATION OF FERTILITYREPRODUCTIVE AGEREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH ACTIVITIESREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH INFORMATIONREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH INTERVENTIONSREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH OUTCOMESREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROBLEMSREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PROGRAMSREPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESREPRODUCTIVE PROCESSREPRODUCTIVE RIGHTSREPRODUCTIVE SERVICESREPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESPECTRIGHTSRIGHTS ADVOCATESSAFE MOTHERHOODSAFE SEXSAFE SEX LIFESAFER SEXSCIENTIFIC EVIDENCESELF-ASSESSMENTSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICES TO WOMENSEXSEX EDUCATIONSEX EDUCATION FOR ADOLESCENTSSEXUAL BEHAVIORSSEXUAL HEALTHSEXUAL VIOLENCESEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONSSKILLED ATTENDANCESLOWING POPULATION GROWTHSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL CONSEQUENCESSOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL STRUCTURESTATE OF WORLD POPULATIONSTISUNFPAUNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUNDUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNSAFE ABORTIONUNSAFE SEXUNWANTED PREGNANCIESUNWANTED PREGNANCYURBAN POPULATIONUSE OF HEALTH SERVICESVICTIMSVICTIMS OF VIOLENCEVIOLENCEVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG PEOPLEWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6613-4
