Review of Integrated Community Case Management and Family Planning/Reproductive Health Training Curricula for Pharmacists and Drug Shop Owners

MOMENTUM Private Healthcare Delivery supports the scale-up of evidence-based approaches to improve the quality of integrated community case management (iCCM) and voluntary family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH) care offered through private pharmacies and drug shop vendors. MOMENTUM is developing a training curriculum and tools for cadres of private providers working in pharmacies and drug shops, as they are not often included in formal health system training for task-shared child health or FP services. As a first step in developing the curriculum, MOMENTUM undertook a review of materials from 11 existing iCCM and FP/RH curricula for lower-level providers. This review summarizes the findings from the curricula review and describes the process of the review. In addition to the report, MOMENTUM has also developed a Curricula Review Matrix which provides further details on the criteria used and each curriculum reviewed in the report. The Curricula Resources file includes all original training materials utilized in the MOMENTUM curricula review.
