Local Abstract: [PIP] The majority of the work of Family Care International (FCI), the Safe Motherhood conference planner, is geared toward community-based action through technical assistance to partners who are developing national policies and model program strategies. In Nigeria , FCI works with the Women's Health Unit of the University of Nigeria, College of Medicine in Enugu and a consortium of local women's groups to develop safe motherhood education and training in the community. Focus group discussions with community members have revealed the effects of attitudes, practices, and community dynamics on women's use of reproductive health services; these results will be used in the future training of midwives, traditional birth attendants, and Safe Motherhood Monitors (community women who give personal health education, monitor pregnancies, and refer women at risk to health workers). In Mexico, after a national Safe Motherhood conference (February 1993) in Cocoyoc, FCI assisted in the formation of a national, multisectoral committee to encourage and support improvements in women's reproductive health and rights. The committee has brought government and women's groups together; its future plans include efforts to assist lawmakers in reviewing laws that affect reproductive health and to improve the ways in which health services are delivered, health staff are trained, and women are treated. One-third of the FCI 1994 program is dedicated to technical assistance to program planners, policymakers, and legislators. Another one-third will go to creating resource materials for health education, beginning information, education, and communication (IEC) programs, and interpersonal counseling. FCI works with groups and agencies in 10 countries. - Publication Date: Date Created: 19950201 Date Completed: 19951207 Latest Revision: 20120501
