Male involvement: current status and future needs.


 There is currently a wave of interest in male involvement in family planning and sexual and reproductive health. Rather than seeing men mainly as obstacles to female acceptance of family planning, modern family planning programs tend to focus upon men as partners or potential clients with their own sexual and reproductive needs. Recent overviews of male involvement projects offer a wide range of rationales for paying more attention to men. In particular, the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development Program of Action expanded the concepts of population and family planning so as to give some priority to the role, behavior, and needs of men. A brief history of the International Planned Parenthood Federation's focus on men is presented, followed by consideration of why men should be addressed, male involvement initiatives, and the future.
