ENGAGE Multimedia Presentations
PRB created these ENGAGE Multimedia presentations in collaboration with local implementing agencies in selected countries. Designed to "engage" high-level policymakers and other leaders, ENGAGE presentations are capturing attention across the globe. They offer exciting new ways of exploring associations among population, health, and socioeconomic indicators across time in a visually stimulating way.
- Family Planning: Pathway to Poverty Reduction seeks to improve individuals' understanding of how family planning contributes to economic growth and poverty reduction at the family, community, and national levels, and to reposition family planning higher on national and local policy agendas in sub-Saharan Africa. The presentation is designed to promote policy dialogue on the health and economic benefits of family planning and presents family planning as a cost-effective, high-yield intervention.
- Kenya Leading the Way highlights both the improvements in development indicators over time as well as the disruptions and "stall" in family planning use. Focusing on the high level of unmet need for family planning, it presents the many consequences of unplanned pregnancies, including high-risk births, maternal mortality, and rapid population growth. The presentation links family planning as a central component of development in order to reduce poverty.
- Generations on the Rise in Pakistan highlights improvements in family planning use over time as well as the gaps in implementation. Focusing on the high level of unmet need for family planning, it presents the many costs and consequences of high fertility and unplanned pregnancies. The presentation underscores how increased family planning use can lead to improvements in the health and wellbeing of Pakistani families.
- Uganda on the Move highlights both the improvements in development indicators over time (the "successes") as well as the challenges Uganda faces with one of the fastest growing populations in the world. Through Google Earth map, the audience has a birds-eye view of Uganda's rapidly growing capital city (Kampala) and the impacts of rapid urban growth. The presentation links family planning as a central component of development in order to reduce poverty, underscoring how increased family planning use can contribute to strengthening the economic goals of the country.
