What We Do

We believe every person deserves access to quality reproductive health and family planning services. With support from USAID, E2A joins partners across the globe to reach millions of adolescents, women, men, and families with health care that changes and saves lives—and has the power to transform communities and nations.

 

How We Work

For eight years, and across 17 countries, we have advanced evidence-based practices that have contributed to reductions in unintended pregnancies and gender disparities and improvements in reproductive health. Evidence, learnings, and resources generated by E2A lay the foundation for the next generation of high-impact family planning and reproductive health programs.

E2A’s approach to enhancing the quality and scale of family planning and reproductive health services follows an “evidence-to-action cycle,” grounded in continuous documentation, adaptation, and learning to strengthen implementation and scale-up. This is how we deliver innovations that respond to the unique needs of target communities and can be adapted and scaled up.

 

		Expanding method choice and access—to increase family planning use and reduce unmet need for contraception.   231,566 acceptors of family planning served through DRC’s scale-up of community based contraception, supported by E2A, were new to contraception.
		Partnering with youth advocates and allies to advance context-specific, youth-friendly service delivery and pioneer innovative strategies for meeting the reproductive health needs of young people.   200+ youth-friendly service sites in Ethiopia offering long-acting, reversible contraception—built upon E2A’s model and partnership with the government of Ethiopia.
		Improving family planning and related gender outcomes for first-time parents, an extremely overlooked youth population.   79% voluntary use of modern contraception among non-pregnant first-time mothers in Nigeria in September 2018, up from 26% in May 2018.
		Increasing the impact of innovations that work—to benefit more people and foster policy and program improvements that last.    9 countries where E2A’s systematic scale-up approaches have been adopted by governments, institutions, and implementing organizations.
