Managing Knowledge to Improve Reproductive Health Programs, Maximizing Access and Quality (MAQ) Initiative, No. 5, 2004, This 36-page paper provides case studies from a number of developing country family planning/reproductive health organisations that are integrating knowledge management (KM) tools and strategies into their operations as a way to improve their performance. According to this report, the uses of KM tools offer reproductive health programme managers ways to enhance staff creativity and help in the "efficiency and effectiveness" of operations. The paper indicates that these changes can also ultimately help lead to better health for clients.

Health Research Ethics Training Curriculum from Family
Health International (FHI)
Human research ethics rest on three basic principles -- respect, beneficence,
and justice -- that comprise the foundation of all regulations or guidelines
governing research ethics and transcend all geographic, cultural, economic,
legal, and political boundaries. FHI developed the Research Ethics Training
Curriculum for international scientists who conduct research that includes
human participants and who want to incorporate fundamental ethical considerations
in the design and implementation of their studies.
