HIP Products
High Impact Practice Briefs
HIPs promote consensus around what works in family planning, and are intended to facilitate the use of evidence to inform program investments in low and middle income countries. HIP briefs provide an unbiased synthesis of the evidence and experience on implementing the practice to date.
HIP Briefs describe family planning practices that have demonstrated impact, are applicable across settings, and are scalable, sustainable, and cost-effective.
HIP Briefs include a theory of change, summary of why the practice is important, summary of impact, tips for implementation, links to resources, indicators, and priority research questions.
Planning Guides
Strategic Planning Guides (SPGs) are designed to lead actors though a strategic process to plan FP programming for a specific population or program area. They are not implementation guides, but rather provide a starting place to reflect on key considerations and identify the most effective and efficient investments to address the focus area.
SPGs are tailored for each topic, and include key actions or a strategic, step-wise process for engagement with the focus population or issue.
Webinars
The HIP webinar series features presentations on HIP practices being implemented across the globe.
Papers
HIP White Papers/Discussion Papers build upon various thematic areas that are central to the HIP Principles. These collaborative papers reflect ongoing discussions from TAG meetings, as well as other topics of interest.
White papers could lead to other HIP products in the future. The key consideration in discussion papers is a “review of a thematic area to provide preliminary understanding of the area and state of the evidence that is available.”
Discussion papers shine light on a topic that needs attention and consideration in the family planning space to achieve FP outcomes following the key HIP principles.
