In Bangladesh, the Directorate General of Family Planning (DGFP) has a long history of producing technical documentation on population and development, maternal, newborn, and child health, and family planning issues. The directorate has been creating, distributing, and disseminating different kinds of policy guidelines, training materials, SBCC materials, reports, newspaper articles, newsletters, etc. since Bangladesh gained its independence. DGFP IEM Unit maintains a "Resource Center," which is a collection of written and audio-visual materials, at the DGFP building in Kawran Bazar. By launching an online Digital Archive, DGFP recently extended its services into the digital sphere. The USAID Shukhi Jibon project provided DGFP with both financial and technical support. This archive will provide a secure framework for the documents' storage in future. This also creates an immense opportunity for public health professionals, researchers, academia, and program managers, to have quick, online access to the knowledge materials that have been produced by the DGFP. Currently, the USAID Shukhi Jibon project is working closely for continuous enrichment of the archive to uphold the technical credibility of the directorate.

dc.description	Hormonal IUD (HIUD) is a highly effective intrauterine contraceptive device and gives pregnancy protection for five years. The national FP program has been using Copper IUD for decades but has not been successful to increase its use rate as expected. The National Technical Committee (NTC), DGFP advised and BMRC approved a pilot study to assess acceptability and feasibility of introducing HIUD in public sector facilities in 2020. Clinical Contraception Services Delivery Program (CCSDP), DGFP has implemented a prospective cohort study (24 months) with support from USAID Shukhi Jibon project, Pathfinder International, and the Population Council in 7 high-volume facilities under DGFP, DGHS, and the private sector from January 2022 to October 2023. The major objective was to assess the feasibility of introducing HIUD in the public sector’s facilities, the acceptability of this method (from the perspective of both providers and clients), and the level of clients’ satisfaction with the HIUD.	en_US
