Leadership & Management Best Practices for Family Planning

Although leadership and management skills are critical for improving family planning service delivery, most health workers are expected to learn these skills on the job. The USAID-funded Leadership, Management & Governance (LMG) Project builds on 30 years of experience in crafting best practices in individual and organizational development to empower health leaders, managers, and teams to address their most pressing challenges.

In this session, we will share barriers we have encountered and the leadership and management interventions we have used to overcome them. We will share stories of developing leaders and manage among youth, women, and women with disabilities including using mentoring as a tool for developing leadership among women. You will learn about customizable tools and resources that can be adapted to overcome your own family planning service delivery challenges. Join these expert speakers:
