EBERT PROGRAM ON CRITICAL ISSUES
IN REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

For more than 16 years, the Population Council’s Robert H. Ebert Program on Critical Issues in Reproductive Health pursued innovative research strategies to address neglected or marginalized issues affecting the reproductive health and rights of women and men, particularly in the developing world. The program’s research contributed to major advances in the understanding of reproductive and sexual health, resulting in measurable improvements in health services around the world. Some of the program’s greatest achievements were through the introduction of new reproductive health technologies and interventions in resource-poor communities.
