Guide for Promoting Sexual and Reproductive Health Products and Services for Men

Achieving universal access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) products and services is fundamental to empowering women and men with the tools to live healthy lives and fulfill their reproductive intentions. As a key component of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 – to ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages – universal access to SRH products and services plays an important role in preventing unplanned pregnancies, reducing maternal and newborn mortality and controlling and ending the HIV epidemic.

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.
