Exercise 1
Discuss the implications of the Cairo programme
of action for M&E of FP programs. Identify 3 or
more ways in which the traditional focus of FP
programs listed on the earlier slide should change
to respond to the Cairo agenda. What are the
implications of these changes for M&E?

Context
Considerable progress in preventing unwanted
pregnancy but unmet need remains substantial
Rapid increases in HIV in many countries
Changing funding focus to HIV from FP
Integrated vs. vertical programs
Dual Protection
Abstinence
Monogamous couples using effective
contraception
Correct and consistent condom use
FP in high HIV-prevalence
countries
Relationship between HIV and fertility desires
FP/RH needs differ for:
FP and VCT
FP counseling opportunity for VCT or general HIV
counseling and VCT referral
VCT services could include FP services or FP
counseling and referral
Concern over unintended consequences of
integration
Provider burn-out
Discourage FP clients
Quality of integrated vs. vertical FP & VCT services
FP and PMTCT
Averts child infections by preventing
unintended pregnancies among HIV+ women
PMTCT programs provide opportunity for
prenatal FP counseling and post-partum
contraceptive use
Reduced breastfeeding by HIV+ mothers will
lead to shorter birth intervals in the absence
of FP
Exercise 3
Select an area of FP/HIV integration (e.g.
PMTCT, VCT, HIV counseling in FP etc.).
Develop a basic input-output-outcome-impact
framework for a simple program in this area.
Suggest 3-6 indicators to monitor your program.
What data sources would you propose to collect
these indicators?
