The Guide for Promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health Products and Services for Men focuses on meaningfully engaging men and creating an enabling environment to increase men’s use of SRH products and services. Drawing on lessons learned from the promotion of male condoms, vasectomy, voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC), HIV testing services (HTS) and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing and treatment, the guide provides guidance, resources and examples of approaches that have increased men’s use of SRH products and services in a variety of settings.
In the guide, you will learn about programs that have successfully addressed harmful social and gender norms, which have traditionally excluded men from fully participating in their SRH care. You will also learn how programs have addressed beliefs and misinformation, and built social support for men’s use of SRH products and services using a variety of social and behavior change (SBC) approaches.
