Off with the entire staff to Dehradun for Futures Group and USAID's End of Project Dissemination Symposium for the state of Uttarakhand. This is the first of four day long events to share the lessons learned of 20 years of family planning and reproductive health interventions (including a system of mobile health vans in the hills, mobilizing and training ASHA workers in villages, making adolescent health a priority for health providers, creating national TV spots and radio spots for behavior change, and designing a multifaceted voucher scheme for low income pregnant women) with ministers, policy makers, and donor agencies in India. So ends a huge health project funded by the US government in India that hopefully inspires a few more. Excited and nervous for my colleagues!
See below for one of our TV spots, designed by my first mentor here. It's a very creative way to encourage fathers to play a role in the delay of age at marriage in rural populations:
