BACKGROUND: PROGRESS (Program Research for Strengthening Services) is a new five year project to improve family planning in developing countries. It provides global technical leadership with concentrated activities in selected countries. PROGRESS seeks to improve access to quality family planning services with an emphasis on reaching underserved populations. PROGRESS will achieve this by expanding service delivery options to include integration with other reproductive health services and use of non-health sector outlets. In addition PROGRESS will seek to address medical barriers that limit access to quality family planning services and also promote task shifting as a means for relieving overworked highly trained medical personnel of tasks that can be performed by personnel with appropriate but less training. For this to be achieved PROGRESS will foster and strengthen synergies between its global technical leadership and focus country activities. Activities will include reducing unnecessary medical and policy restrictions, promoting innovative delivery approaches for hard-to-reach groups, identifying new programmatic research areas to generate quality evidence for program innovations, to strengthen use of proven/promising interventions and to improve access and use of appropriate and cost effective contraceptive methods and technologies. All activities will also seek to build the capacity of researchers and of program managers to apply new knowledge. PROGRESS will concentrate in focus countries and will respond to requests from other country missions for technical assistance to introduce, adapt, and scale up best practices. This work will contribute to global technical leadership (GTL).
