The Francophone MAQ Subcommittee Becomes Less Formal and More Flexible

In July 2000, the Francophone MAQ Subcommittee was launched in Dakar, Senegal. Since that time this subcommittee has moved toward a less formal and more flexible structure that can mobilize efforts, as needed, to respond to current access and quality issues in West Africa. Francophone MAQ Subcommittee members have recently participated in the following regional meetings: the Francophone Regional Postabortion Care Conference in Dakar (March 2002) and the Dual Protection Workshop conducted by the Family Health and AIDS Project in Yamoussoukro, Ivory Coast (August 2002). This issue of the MAQ Bulletin provides reproductive health updates, highlights activities of the Francophone MAQ Subcommittee and the global MAQ initiative, and explores new ways to expand access to high quality family planning and reproductive health services for women and their families in West Africa.
