Documenting
Best practices in PPD Member Countries
Bangkok,
Thailand — Partners
in Population and Development (PPD)
in collaboration with the Government
of Thailand organized a technical
meeting of authors and external reviewers
of the national innovative practices
in Bangkok, Thailand from 30 July
to 1 August 2010. The meeting was
part of a process which started in
2008 by an invitation to PPD member
states to submit innovative and successful
programs related to Reproductive Health,
Population and Development. After
a highly competitive selection, 10
documents were chosen by a group of
experts as showcases that could be
improved and shared among PPD member
countries as innovative program practices.
The meeting held in Bangkok was the
second and final stage of technical
review meetings gathering authors,
reviewers and donors. Its main objective
was to come up with well articulated
papers for each country that would
eventually be further developed into
full fledged Case Studies for an Innovative
Practices Monograph which will be
published and disseminated by the
end of this year.
