Abstract

This paper describes the experience of various institutions in integrating a reproductive health awareness (RHA) approach into different health, school and community-based programs. RHA, an educational approach that evolved from the Institute's client empowerment approach to natural family planning and fertility awareness, is based on helping women and men to participate actively in their own family planning and reproductive health care by developing skills in self-observation, communication and self-advocacy. In addition to providing the Institute with an avenue for responding to the Cairo and Beijing mandates, RHA has also provided a means to introduce family planning, particularly natural methods of family planning, into programs and institutions. RHA has continued to evolve and strengthen during the process of field testing its contributions to existing reproductive health programs.
