Template A: Obtain family planning information, counseling and contraceptives from a health provider
Template A is used to help community members better understand the contraceptive options available to them and how to access them in emergency settings.
Template B has two pictures that represent how the number of children a family has can increase the stress, struggle, and strain for the family.
Template C is a chart describing different family planning methods. It shows the different types of family planning methods, their level of protection against pregnancy, and their level of protection against sexually transmitted infections.
Template D illustrates how to use a male condom for both circumcised and uncircumcised men. These can be posted in humanitarian settings and handed out with condoms.
Template E shows a woman in the different situations necessary to use the lactational ammenorhea method, or exclusive breastfeeding.
Template F shows the situations when a woman might need to seek emergency contraception, and illustrates how to use it.

The need to convey information to beneficiary populations has been identified as one of the gaps in improving service uptake.
Template G tells community members what to do after forced sex. The template is available with or without region-specific illustrations and in a variety of languages including Arabic, Burmese, English, Somali, and Swahili.
