Partnerships
The Institute for Reproductive Health recognizes
the importance of partnerships to establish fertility
awareness-based (FAB) methods as scientifically
based, effective and appropriate for inclusion
in family planning and reproductive health programs
around the world. Building partnerships with international
membership and donor agencies, such as the World
Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA), as well as the USAID
global bureau and missions is important as their
support is critical to establishing the legitimacy
of these methods.
Building support for FAB methods also involves
developing collaborative relationships and partnerships
with international non-governmental organizations
(NGOs), private voluntary organizations (PVOs),
faith-based organizations (FBOs) and cooperating
agencies (CAs). The sustainability of Institute
efforts is dependent upon building capacity with
international organizations and regional centers
so that they may provide training and mainstream
these methods into their services. (See also Countries
