This new article, “Family planning high impact practices in Francophone West Africa: ownership, strategies and use for programming,” explores how HIPs are being used across the Ouagadougou Partnership countries, highlighting what is working, where challenges remain, and what is needed for long-term sustainability and scale-up.
