IUD Best Practice Tools

We are very interested in improving our ability to provide IUDs in our program. Can you please point me to a source of authoritative information on IUDs including programmatic considerations?

Definitely. Experts from various organizations that collaborate with USAID under its Maximizing Access and Quality (MAQ) initiative, have developed an on-line IUD “Toolkit” of programmatic information and other tools to help with IUD service delivery. The URL is http://www.iudtoolkit.org

Some of the tools were already existing and just included, and some were created specifically for the toolkit.

Major categories (tabs) in the tool kit are:
* Overview Documents
* Essential Knowledge
* Policies and Guidelines
* Service Delivery
* Training
* Logistics
* Marketing and Communication
* Country Experiences
* Tools
