5th SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT

Introduction
This report covers the period between October 1, 2015 and March 31, 2016 under the Evidence Project, being implemented between 2013 – 2018 by the Population Council and partners PATH, INDEPTH Network, Population Reference Bureau (PRB), and the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). The Evidence Project seeks to expand access to high-quality family planning (FP) and reproductive health (RH) services worldwide through implementation science (IS), including the strategic generation, translation, and use of new and existing evidence to improve programming. The results framework for the project, shown in Figure 1, focuses on the three results of strategic generation of evidence to answer key questions, translation of existing evidence and dissemination via appropriate formats and platforms, and use of evidence in catalyzing policy, program, and practice change.
