The report highlights the network's achievements over the course of 2019 with a particular focus on improving mental health awareness in the Muslim community. A key achievement over the course of the year was to have four community organisations, with a combined reach of over 10,000 people sign up to the Public Health England's Prevention Concordat. And this was a great way to show collaborative working between our health agencies and the community.

The presentation addresses the importance of helping communities to reconcile the right of women to prevent unintended pregnancies and the inherent belief that practicing modern contraception is morally wrong. The Child Survival project in Burundi, which integrated birth spacing intervention clearly demonstrates women can be empowered to make decisions about their pregnancies.
The Relevance of Child-Spacing on the Academic Performance of Married Women i...iosrjce
This study focuses on the relevance of child-spacing on the academic performance of married women
in college of education, Azare. The sample of the study consisted of 201 married women selected through
random sampling technique. The instruments of the study were questionnaire and result records. The
questionnaire was admistered to the sampled subjects and their end of semester results were collected from the
exams offices of the college. It was observed that the level of the acceptance and usage of child-spacing by
married women in the college was low. It was also revealed that some factors like belief, husband’s influence
and culture prevent them from embracing child-spacing. It was observed that child-spacing has a positive
impact on their performance in the college because the t-cal of 8.8085 is greater than the t-value of 6.353 at
0.05 and degree of freedom of 199. Therefore, the hypothesis which said that there is no significant difference in
performance between married women who embraced child-spacing and those who do not in the college is
rejected. The study recommended that husbands, cultures and parents should allow women in the college to use
child-spacing, particularly during studies.
In this presentation, Bishop Essien Ekong (MD), an experienced medical practitioner, taught the brethren the need for family planning and child spacing. Family planning is needed for the recovery of the woman and man (physically and economically) after child birth, when the woman is having medical conditions which makes pregnancy risky to her health, and when the couple has decided to stop having children.
Read the presentation for all details about family planning methods. May the Lord bless you all in Jesus' name. Amen.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

• Engaging the Head:
Learning basic technical
information
• Touching the Heart:
Understanding impact of
issues on people in the
community and engaging
faith texts
• Equipping the Hands:
Practical connections with
other community actors to
plan a response
12. Stories of change
“We realized that family
planning is not killing; life
begins at conception. This
was an eye-opener for many
pastors. We knew we needed
to engage the church and our
communities on child health
and family planning issues.”
-Tom Obiero Ohawa, Pastor
Glad Tidings Church, Siaya
County, Kenya
13. Touch the Heart: Key HTSP Content
Tough Stuff Statements
(1) Birth spacing (birth control) is wrong, because it is
God who creates and intends pregnancy. It is not our
role to play God.
(2) Is it necessary to explain to teenagers how to use
condoms, or provide information about other
contraceptives? Would such explanations not
encourage early, irresponsible sexual activity?
(3) God says the man is the head of the household; and
He has commanded humans to be fruitful and
multiply – therefore, it is for the man to decide when
to have sexual intercourse and when to have
children.
14. Stories of change
• We believed that things to
do with reproduction and
giving birth belonged to God
and no man should interfere.
I used to quote a lot of
Scripture to support that…. .
I was very moved by what I
heard at the course and felt
family planning was the right
thing for me to do personally
and to share with my church.
-Phanuel Odany Mbande,
CoH champion, Siaya County,
Kenya
16. What leads to change in Faith leaders
perspectives?
• Engaging Scripture/sacred
texts (Guiding Principles)
• Well-facilitated, sustained
dialogue on controversial
issues (Tough Stuff)
• Emotional and spiritual
impact (Testimony, Morning
reflections)
17. Stories of change
“I like World Vision’s faith focus
on birth spacing and family
planning. In the past, information
was available, but the medical
approach was not well-received.
This is the first time we’ve
combined family planning
information with a faith approach,
and engaged faith leaders as
champions. People trust us as
leaders, and are now confident
about seeking family planning
services in the local health
facility.”
-Rev. Gabriel Anyiko Owino,
Anglican priest CoH champion,
Siaya County, Kenya
18. From Faith leaders to faith
communities: CHAT workshops
• 4-6 representatives from a
faith community
• Meaningful community
interaction/engagement
with other actors
• Develop action plans
20. MOMENT project: Siaya, Kenya (2015)
•200 faith leaders trained
•360 church volunteers mobilized
•The Result: 4,288 women referred to family
planning services by faith leaders. More than
half (2,819) are now using a method of family
planning.
21.
22. Community Impact
“ MOMENT is effective as it brings together all
stakeholders—faith-based organizations and churches—
along with the community health workers, who are
creating the demand for family planning. Now when
people come for family planning services at health
facilities, they are available and they get them. Our
humble plea is that MOMENT expand. It would help
many women and reduce maternal mortality, which
continues to be a problem here.”
-Solomon Osaya, Sub-county Public Health Nurse
Siaya, Kenya
24. CoH MNCH + HTSP
Operational Research
Project Description:
Faith leaders advocate for increased healthy timing and spacing of
pregnancy/ family planning use and stronger maternal and child
health outcomes.
Research Questions:
What is the impact of using CoH model to deliver messages related
to HTSP on the prevalence of contraceptive use among mothers of
children under 2-year of age in rural areas of Kenya and Ghana?
Does using Channels of Hope methodology to deliver messages
related to HTSP influence faith leaders to change attitudes towards
HTSP?
