Training Resource Package for Family Planning

Maximizing learning experiences by increasing adaptability, discoverability, and inclusivity and aligning with the trainers needs

The Training Resource Package (TRP) for Family Planning has been developed using latest evidence-based technical information from World Health Organization (WHO) publications: Family Planning: A Global Handbook for Providers; WHO Medical Eligibility Criteria for Contraceptive Use; Selected Practice Recommendations for Contraceptive Use and SPR Web Annexure. This resource provides Reproductive Health trainers, supervisors, and program managers with a comprehensive set of materials required to adapt, design, implement, and evaluate FP trainings. The materials are appropriate for pre-service and in-service training and applicable for use in public and private sectors.
