“Mainstreaming gender into global health programming to improve women’s health,” appearing in Health Care for Women International, provides practical approaches to mainstream gender into the design and evaluation of women's health programming and policies. When designing and implementing projects, the authors say, researchers and practitioners need to first think about how power imbalances can be redressed to increase women’s voice and agency. They also should consider whether and how to engage men such that gender equality, women’s autonomy, and rights remain at the center, and not focus on men as decision-makers and gatekeepers. |

“Can a standards-based approach improve access to and quality of primary health care? Findings from an end-of-project evaluation in Ghana,” published in PLoS ONE, looks at whether including the Standards-Based Management and Recognition (SBM-R) quality improvement approach in the Community-Based Health Planning and Services (CBHPS) model in Ghana affects care. The authors found that approaches that support standardized care could be useful for engaging facility- and community-based service providers as well as community members to improve provision of health care. However, further work is needed to improve and accurately measure the client experience of care. |
