The Policy Learning Collaborative is a course not only in policy, but in how people can participate in decision making in their community. CCP is among the partners on the effort.
With an assist from CCP, one town now has a water pump and a plan to maintain its new source of clean water for drinking, cooking and washing.
The center is a partner in a new five-year, $20-million USAID-funded project designed to support the overall health and well-being of young people.

“Before now, women didn’t come for” prenatal care, says Hauwa’u Ango, the treasurer of the Ward Development Committee in Yarbese. “But now they are, and not only in Yarbese but even from [far-flung] villages.”

In late April, after eight years of advocacy work by CCP, the House Assembly of Oyo State passed a bill requiring the state to fund family planning there. CCP staff hope other states will soon follow Oyo’s lead.
A CCP-led advocacy program in Tanzania used data outlining the high costs of paying for health care for pregnant women and young children to convince the nation’s leading private health insurer to begin covering the costs of modern contraception.
New CCP research suggests that women in districts where family planning was prioritized were significantly more likely to be using the modern contraceptive methods they wanted.
