Overview
EngenderHealth is requesting funds to develop a prototype tool kit, called Checkpoints for Choice, that will help policymakers, health care providers, and community members identify whether women's choices about contraception are respected when they receive family planning services. The goal of this project is to provide these constituencies with an evidence-based and concrete tool to promote and protect reproductive rights and contraceptive choice. This project grant reflects the Global Development and Population Program’s stronger emphasis on fostering specific improvements in access to and quality of family planning services, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of the TIME Initiative
This organizational effectiveness grant to EngenderHealth represents the third and final grant for the TIME Initiative, which aims to support international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) to grapple with how to meaningfully change their organizational structures to shift power in the global reproductive health field. This grant will continue to support this scope and will be complemented by a program grant to Humentum, the consulting partner on this grant, so expand the TIME Initiative to the broader field.
for support of safe abortion care in Tanzania and globally
The grant to EngenderHealth will support access to high-quality, gender-equitable, and age-appropriate sexual and reproductive health and rights services, including comprehensive abortion care and postabortion care. The majority of the funding requested will be used for programmatic work in Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania. The remaining funding will support global and country staff time for abortion-related content and advocacy that cannot be covered by other unrestricted funds due to U.S. government funding restrictions. This grant is aligned with the Global Reproductive Equity strategy. (Strategy: Global Reproductive Equity)
for support of equity in global sexual and reproductive health and rights organizations
This grant to EngenderHealth will support the TIME Initiative, a consortium of CEOs of global sexual and reproductive health organizations to work together towards a more equitable institutional vision of the field and their roles in it. Through an inclusive and consultative planning process, this grant will lay out a future set of engagements for the field to envision an evolved role for international non-governmental organizations in sexual and reproductive health and rights. This is the second phase of work of this group. (Strategy: Global Reproductive Equity)
