Meeting the Development and Health Needs of 215 Million Women: U.S. International Family Planning Goals
April 1, 2010
U.S. international family planning assistance is one of the great success stories in the history of U.S. development assistance. Unfortunately a large and growing need for family planning remains in many developing nations. While the world population continues to grow by 79 million people annually, 215 million women in developing countries seek to postpone childbearing, space births, or stop having children, but are not using a modern method of contraception. The United States can lead international efforts to meet the unmet need for family planning by appropriating $1 billion annually.

Policy Empowers - Condom Use Among Sex Workers in the Dominican Republic
January 1, 2007
HIV prevention has long been approached at the level of individual behaviors, operating to some extent under the assumption that behavior is determined by a person's conscious decisions. However, a paradigm shift toward considering the physical and social environments in which individual HIV risk behavior takes place is gradually gaining momentum. These structural factors-whether political, economic or cultural-may directly or indirectly affect an individual's ability to avoid exposure to HIV.1 The Dominican Republic offers an example of this progression from successful individual HIV behavioral interventions among sex workers, toward broader community approaches and policy initiatives.
