Universal & Adaptable Information, Education & Communication Templates on Family Planning

These “universal templates” can be used by SBCC specialists who can draw in features that contextualize the images to their setting (such as hair, clothing). The “variation templates” are based on the “universal templates,” and have been adapted to represent four broad ethnic categories. The suggested text is available in English, and also Arabic, Burmese, Somali and Swahili to insert into the blank templates.

All images are based on a literature review of existing family planning-related IEC materials, many from development contexts. The materials have been reviewed by adolescents and community members representing several displacement settings, and practitioners of family planning.
