Self-care is increasingly gaining traction within the global SRH community of practice, particularly as a means of offering women greater autonomy and control over their reproductive health. Since 2020, the Delivering Innovation in Self-Care (DISC) project has been pioneering contraceptive self-care accessibility, by supporting women and healthcare providers alike to overcome common barriers to DMPA-SC self-injection contraception.
Through interventions in Nigeria, Uganda, and Malawi, DISC has generated substantial learnings by developing innovative empathy-based training for providers, utilizing digital channels to reach women with relevant health information throughout her self-care ‘user journey’, and strengthening provider reporting of self-injection.
Join us for an interactive four-part learning series where we’ll share what worked (and didn’t work!) in our efforts to popularize and improve contraceptive self-care, as well as discuss the insights we’ve gathered throughout the process.
