FRONTIERS PROJECT
Using Operations Research to Enhance Delivery of Postpartum/Postabortion Family Planning Services in the Arab Region

The purpose of this project is to develop a three-day workshop in Cairo on best and promising practices in postpartum and postabortion care in the Arab region. Key participants at this workshop will be representatives from reproductive health and family planning (RH/FP) programs in selected Arab countries that have relatively high fertility levels, poor maternal health indicators, and fairly new RH/FP programs. The workshop will enhance the capacity of these RH/FP programs to introduce and scale up proven integrated family planning interventions through demonstration and expansion projects. In addition to presenting lessons learned and tools developed by FRONTIERS in the Arab region and elsewhere (for example, systematic screening), the workshop will also invite presentations on related best practices developed by other agencies in the region
