Program Design

Achieving environmentally-sustainable development in situations of increasing population growth, declining biodiversity, and chronic poverty requires communities and nongovernmental organizations to utilize strategic planning, multi-disciplinary interventions and linked livelihood strategies. In response to the needs expressed by field-level health and conservation projects, USAID and other donors such as the David and Lucille Packard Foundation have supported the production of training materials designed to increase the capacity of field practitioners to design, implement and monitor integrated PHE approaches. This section includes design manuals as well as training guides and curricula.

This brief worksheet outlines the objective of an integrated population, health, and environment (PHE) project. The worksheet focuses on three objective results: 1) global leadership demonstrated in influencing the worldwide PHE agenda and other organization’s programs, 2) knowledge generated, communicated, and disseminated to improve understanding of PE linkages in new and primary audiences, and 3) support provided to the field to strengthen their institutional capacity to implement effective and sustainable PHE programs.

USAID’s Office of Population-Reproductive Health sponsored the preparation of a set of training materials for developing the capacity of field practitioners to design, implement and monitor integrated approaches to Population-Health-Environment (PHE). These materials were developed under a task order by CDM International under the Environmental Health IQC and the collection can be downloaded by clicking the link "Designing and Implementing Integrated Approaches to PHE: Training Materials" located above.

In the face of rapid population growth, chronic poverty, and low levels of family planning, it can be difficult to implement a conservation project. A Population, Health and Environment (PHE) approach to development projects is an approach that recognizes the link between people and their environment. Often cross-sectoral projects show more success than single-sector approaches and a longer, larger impact.

This book looks at the intricate connections between gender and demographic matters in coastal management practices. The book looks at these links both through a gender analysis and mainstreaming for integrated coastal management projects and a population analysis in coastal management. This book presents various case studies. In Fiji, Mexico, the Philippines, and Indonesia studies are done on empowering women in community decisions-making and how women can transition from overbearing traditions.
