HIP Technical Advisory Group Meetings
How Are Practices Identified and Selected? In an effort to support the renewed focus on evidence-based programming, a Technical Advisory Group (TAG) was formed. The TAG is made up of more than 25 international experts in family planning research, programming, and implementation identified from donor agencies, research institutions, and service delivery organizations. The Technical Advisory Group (TAG) meets twice a year to review the most recent evidence and make recommendations to update and implement HIPs. Meeting reports for all prior TAG meetings are available below.
