Abstract:
The Special Programme of Research, Development and Research Training in Human Reproduction is one of the few organizations engaged in contraceptive research and development that focusses on the needs of the developing world. Its scope has widened since its inception to include broader issues of reproductive health, and it has recently increased attention to developing national capacity to identify and address country needs. The establishment of a worldwide network of centers collaborating in research, simultaneously contributing to fertility research and institutional development; documentation of the risks and benefits of developing country use of the most widely available contraceptives; and the introduction of two new contraceptive methods, have been its main achievements to date. This paper provides a brief overview of the factors which led the World Bank to begin providing financial support in FY1988, and of the program's accomplishments and present directions.
