Join Abt Associates for a webinar to learn how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global contraceptive supply. As a key manufacturer of many family planning commodities, India’s supply chain disruptions can have significant effects not only on product access and use within India but on global exports, as well. The presentation will discuss findings from a COVID-19 market assessment of the Indian contraceptive supply chain and its implications for global supply chains, will explain how disruptions to the Indian market have affected global exports, and will share key policy recommendations for public and private stakeholders to help mitigate the negative impacts of the pandemic on contraceptive supply and access. The discussants will reflect on how the pandemic has affected supply- and demand-side factors and how they have adapted global procurement processes, in-country distribution, and organizational operations in the face of COVID-19 disruptions.
The WHO/IBP Covid-19 Task Team co-hosted by FHI360 and JHU-CCP brings together researchers, program implementers and advocates to discuss how to maintain family planning and reproductive health services during the Covid-19 pandemic. In April 2020, IBP hosted several regional webinars to share WHO Guidance and program experiences around implementation. This series follow up with our partners around the world to re-visit challenges and lessons learned about maintaining FP/RH services during the Covid-19 pandemic.
As President-elect Biden prepares to take office, advocates must pursue bold action to not only undo the harms wrought by Trump's administration, but to launch a transformative agenda that ensures that all people have access to their SRHR.
Efforts are underway to accelerate the development and distribution of a COVID-19 vaccine, with the emphasis so far being on highlighting equity in distribution among countries. While COVID-19 has disproportionately greater impact on certain populations, including forcibly displaced populations, it is often politically untenable to say that this group should be given priority when it comes to planning of vaccination campaigns. Seroprevalence studies show suboptimal immunity to various vaccine preventable diseases among refugees, and lower vaccination coverage of these groups compared with local host populations has also been observed. In addition, there are specific barriers—informal (language, access to information and culture) and economic and administrative that prevent them from spontaneously accessing immunization campaigns. What does this mean for the COVID-19 vaccine reaching forcibly displaced populations? How can access be guaranteed? What are the ethical issues? How will logistics be dealt with in humanitarian settings?
