Abstract:

Improving Our Health by Planning Our Families (TAHSEEN Sihitna Bi Tanzeem Usritna), or TAHSEEN, is a seven-year (2002-2009) program to provide assistance to the public, private commercial and NGO sectors in order to solidify reproductive health/family planning (RH/FP) investments and progress of the last three decades. Funded by USAID, the program will be characterized by a broad, multi-sectoral approach, wherein there will be coordination between private, NGO and public services as well as between USAID-sponsored initiatives in health and education. TAHSEEN represents USAID’s final population project in Egypt. In order to draw together the numerous governmental and nongovernmental agencies and private companies that will play a part in TAHSEEN’s development and implementation, a workshop was held from October 23-25 in the Sixth of October City. With over 100 participants from all sectors of the RH/FP market and from all regions of the country, three days were spent discussing and refining the First Year Draft Integrated Work plan for TAHSEEN. The event proved to be a very productive and successful means of beginning to develop the partnerships that will be necessary to ensure that TAHSEEN meets its’ objectives and carries the Egyptian RH/FP program closer to full sustainability.
