Lessons Learned

This publication discusses the lessons learned in the EC/UNFPA Initiative for Reproductive Health in Asia (RHI). The report summarizes a selection of some of the lessons learned, best practices and success stories resulting from the experience of over three years of implementation of the RHI in seven countries. The production of this publication was a collective effort of the RHI partners, coordinated by UNFPA with the assistance of the "Information and Communication Network" (ComNet), an RHI regional dimension project executed by the German Foundation for World Population.
