Hello all,
[cid:image003.png@01D2285B.F6F78FC0]

[cid:image003.png@01D2285B.F6F78FC0]I am pleased to share a French translation of set of supplemental training modules aimed at meeting the reproductive health needs of young married women and first-time parents (FTPs) in West Africa (links below). These groups face a unique set of challenges to living healthy sexual and reproductive lives-challenges that are different from those faced by unmarried adolescents or older married women. These training modules-intended for facility-based providers, community health workers, and peers leading small groups-aim to address these unique challenges and considerations and promote the health and rights of young married women and first-time parents.

The modules were designed for use in francophone West Africa, but they can easily be adapted for other settings. These 1- and 2-day trainings are intended to supplement an adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health training. The modules cover topics including healthy timing and spacing of pregnancy, nonjudgmental counseling for young married women and FTPs, and the particular challenges and pressures concerning childbearing faced by young married women and FTPs. The modules consist of trainer presentations (slides included) and participatory small and large group activities.

These materials were originally written by Pathfinder International for its West Africa Initiative in Burkina Faso, Guinea, and Niger, which was funded by the Pathfinding Fund, John Templeton Foundation, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and Weyerhaeuser Family Foundation, Inc. With additional technical and financial support from the Pathfinder-led Evidence to Action (E2A) project, the modules were subsequently adapted by Pathfinder for users beyond the original project.

Please feel free to share widely. Apologies for cross-posting!

Best,
Olivia
