POLICY Project The POLICY Project works with host-country governments and civil society groups to achieve a policy environment for family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH), HIV/AIDS, and maternal health. Multisectoral engagement, community and organizational empowerment, and promotion of human rights and gender equality characterize POLICY's approaches to better reproductive health policies and programs. The POLICY Project brings to its work a strong background in program management and support, capacity development, advocacy, training, strategic planning, policy formulation, research, and monitoring and evaluation. POLICY staff also contribute their expertise in public health, gender analysis, law and human rights, economics and health finance, community mobilization, and data analysis and modeling.
