Shaping the new COVID-19 reality: Creating evidence-based solutions to sustain family planning in humanitarian settings and across the nexus

The Women’s Refugee Commission will share key findings from a mixed-methods study assessing the landscape of family planning services across diverse, crisis-affected settings. The study included:

• Key informant interviews before and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, including nearly 30 interviews exploring the effects of COVID-19 on family planning in crisis settings
• Three case studies examining family planning service provision in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh; Borno State, Nigeria; and Cyclone Idai-affected Mozambique
• A coverage survey of implementing agencies
• A literature review

During this interactive consultation, participants worked in small groups to develop evidence-based recommendations for governments, donors and implementing agencies to improve access to the full range of family planning methods from preparedness, to acute humanitarian response, to protracted response and recovery.
