Aman Foundation, through the Sukh initiative is committed to share best practices and research to aid evidence based decision making. The intention is to share the best of time practices for family planning project scale ups and sustainability with potential users of the information. The Department of Community Health Sciences, Aga Khan University as a measurement partner for Sukh Initiative, is to provide an external and independent measurement of program impact through a cross sectional survey of a sample population within the 1 million intervention population in the form of a baseline and an endline. Program impact will be measured as per the objectives and program goals outlined and agreed upon in the Sukh program framework. The measurement partner will conduct a mid-term assessment of program progress towards identified goals and also an independent analysis of progress monitoring and PMIS data on an annual basis and participate in an annual review of program progress. A dedicated position of Manager Research and Metrics has been introduced to the Sukh initiative with sole responsibility of identifying and developing research questions and hypotheses and with program data to identify best practices and evidence based impact studies. The activity is to commence from 2015 when field level service data becomes available for a meaningful and effective sample study.

To increase the ambit of Sukh strategy and build on the success of different models implemented in the country, Sukh Initiative has evolved an exclusive technical body which is widely represented by the Sindh Government, development partners, technical experts both from public and private sector. This body aims to create synergy between different stakeholders including the government departments in Sindh. Sukh is also working at the community level through more than 200 community base organizations. To create an enabling environment for family planning services, Sukh is working in close collaboration with the provincial Departments of Health, Population Welfare, Education and Youth Affairs, to strengthen the existing systems in the intervention areas and play a leadership role in advocating for the sustainability of its objectives.

[Aman Foundation's family planning] program will promote longer term, more effective contraceptive methods. Sukh through increasing MCPR will motivate new users to adopt family planning for the first time, and encourage users of traditional methods to switch to more reliable modern methods. The connection between increased MCPR and reduced maternal mortality rates is well established, as is its direct contribution to lowering the total fertility rate. To improve quality of services to increase access to family planning, Sukh strengthens the quality of services locally available and will develop capacity of maternity homes to offer quality post-partum and post abortion family planning services. Jhpiego as implementing partner will work with public sector facilities to improve access to FP services (by method) and with improved quality of service.

One of the multiple service provision levers for the Sukh project is Family Life Education through Aahung, a local organization with previous experience in working with young girls and boys in communities on the sensitive issues related to maternal health, marriage rights and communication. Sukh will include door to door counselling and service delivery through Aman Community Health Program, to educate and inform the family planning clients on importance of family planning, choices available for family planning supplies, health hazards and other healthcare topics. In addition, Aman TeleHealth a 24-hour round the clock, 26-desks Health Helpline services over 3 shifts with medical advisors, counselors and doctors, will provide health advice and referral information over the phone. This will empower and encourage women and youth in particular, to avail the widely used mobile phone services to seek timely medical counseling that otherwise would not be accessible to them.
