In February 2016, PATH convened a workshop involving public and private family planning market specialists that resulted in the messaging framework. This communications tool encourages dialogue and information-sharing among stakeholders, and fosters coordination across sectors for stronger family planning markets.

Over the past 15 years, PATH has worked in low-and middle-income countries, including Ghana, Peru, Rwanda, and Ukraine, to evaluate and strengthen breast cancer early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. We use our technical capacity, country presence, and extensive global and in-country networks to pursue culturally appropriate programmatic and technological innovations to extend survival and improve quality of life for women diagnosed with breast cancer.

For over 15 years, PATH has pursued culturally appropriate programmatic and technological innovations to extend survival and improve the quality of life for women with breast cancer. We focus on identifying approaches and technologies that are feasible, effective, and affordable in low-resource contexts, and we envision a continuous model of care that connects health care delivery (early detection, diagnosis, and treatment) with public participation (awareness, survival, and advocacy).

This issue of Outlook establishes menstrual health as a sexual and reproductive health and rights issue; presents the obstacles to and the consequences of not promoting and protecting menstrual health; and highlights opportunities to improve menstrual health in low-resource settings.

PATH has drawn on its global experience from our total market approach (TMA) work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Uganda, and Vietnam to produce a TMA planning guide to increase access to family planning. The guide and toolkit, produced by The Evidence Project, contain practical information and specific tools to help organizations and other planners conduct a landscape assessment, the first phase in developing a TMA.
