The INFO Project was an initiative aimed at improving access to family planning and reproductive health information worldwide. It was part of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Center for Communication Programs (CCP). The project focused on disseminating high-quality, evidence-based information to health professionals, policymakers, and the general public to enhance decision-making and improve health outcomes.

The primary objective of the INFO Project was to bridge the gap between research and practice in the field of reproductive health. By providing accessible and reliable information, the project sought to empower individuals and communities to make informed decisions about family planning and reproductive health.

The project developed and distributed a wide range of materials, including publications, newsletters, and online resources. These materials were designed to be user-friendly and accessible to a diverse audience, including healthcare providers, educators, and policymakers.

Capacity Building[edit | edit source]

The INFO Project also focused on building the capacity of organizations and individuals to effectively use and disseminate reproductive health information. This included training workshops, seminars, and the development of toolkits and guidelines.

Collaboration and Partnerships[edit | edit source]

Collaboration was a key component of the INFO Project. The initiative worked closely with international organizations, governments, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to ensure that information was relevant and culturally appropriate.

Impact[edit | edit source]

The INFO Project had a significant impact on the field of reproductive health by improving access to information and enhancing the capacity of health professionals and organizations. Its efforts contributed to increased awareness and understanding of family planning and reproductive health issues, ultimately leading to better health outcomes.
