Successful Coalition presence in Addis at ICFP2013

Two Coalition-moderated panels took place at the International Conference on Family Planning 2013 and were very well-attended. MDA Working Group Leader, Ian Askew moderated a panel on market shaping aimed at creating a shared vision of market shaping outcomes (affordability, quality, supply, sustainability, and equity). The panel also addressed upstream elements of market shaping such as procurement, pricing, and quality; and downstream elements of distribution and capacity building.
The Coalition’s panel on stockouts, "Getting down to business: the critical steps to getting shelves stocked", addressed efforts underway to ensure that all stakeholders speak the same language on stockout indicators. Presentations included:

• The Informed Push Model of Distribution to Reduce Stockouts and Improve Service Delivery
• Use of COPE tool for Contraceptive Security in Tanzania
• Speaking the Same Language: Stockout indicators landscape analysis and harmonization efforts
• Shaping Reproductive Health Markets 
• Quality and generic reproductive medicines Market Assessments in Kenya, Nepal and Senegal
