MERLA CEI Toolkit

IHI is partnering with Ipas to strengthen its MERLA systems in support of the organization's renewed focus on reproductive justice. Drawing on deep expertise in SRHR measurement, IHI is co-designing two field-ready resources a Client Exit Interview (CEI) Toolkit and an Analysis Toolkit for validated scales and measurement tools fully aligned with Ipas's updated M&E guide and indicator bank. Rooted in equity, usability, and collaboration, IHI's approach embeds gender-justice principles into tool design, strengthens ethical protocols, and develops intuitive templates that make complex measurement accessible to diverse teams — positioning Ipas for sustained data use and greater impact across its global programs.

Post-Medication Abortion Contraception (PMAC) Market Building

IHI is working with Ipas to strengthen contraceptive access for women self-managing medication abortion, especially in pharmacies, in Kenya and Pakistan. We developed market systems plans in both countries, integrating user insights, commercial marketing, and national policies to guide sustainable models. Our current role focuses on facilitating project learning through workshops, learning briefs (Kenya and Pakistan), and knowledge-sharing activities. In Kenya, findings will inform a PMAC investment case, while in Pakistan, they will guide advocacy efforts for pharmacy-led PMAC provision.
