The goal of the IBP Initiative is to improve access and quality of reproductive healthcare through a systematic approach focused on developing and supporting strategies that introduce, adapt and apply evidence based practices in reproductive health.
The Implementing Best Practices (IBP) Initiative is a uniquely interactive forum through which policy makers, programme managers, implementing organizations and providers convene to identify and apply evidence-based practices that can improve reproductive health outcomes in their countries.
Initiated by the World Health Organization and USAID, and supported by an increasing number of international and local reproductive health agencies, the IBP Initiative responds to several challenges in the reproductive health community in low resource settings, among them:
- The lack of targeted and coherent information on what works and what does not work
- Costly duplication of efforts
- Costly implementation of ineffective programs
- Limited access to evidence-based tools, materials and strategies
- Limited opportunities to share new knowledge with local and international colleagues.
The IBP process takes participants on a route of learning and doing, with the ultimate goal of building knowledge, partnerships, and effective programs. The IBP Initiative is a way of thinking that can be applied in any setting, though it is typically launched through regional and country events .
