RH CP-Outcome 2:People of reproductive age adopt safe behavior and seek reproductive health
commodities and information on HIV/AIDS, STIs and reproductive health.
UNFPA contributed to this outcome by scaling up access to information and behaviour change
communication for young people, and by fostering inter-sectorial partnerships aiming at promotion of
healthy lifestyles among young people. 20 This outcome is closely linked to the previous one, where the
increased information and knowledge on RH combined with specific health services together are expected
to lead to lower incidence rates of STIs.
RH CP-Output 2: Increased availability of counselling and information services on sexual and
reproductive health, and HIV/AIDS and STI prevention for young people.
Progress: 80% of family doctors and 50% of nurses have been trained in counselling, 21 which

provided by UNFPA included contraceptive methodologies, HIV/STIs prevention and the promotion of
Youth Friendly Health Services (YFHS). YFHS are implemented with UNFPA support in 12 (+2
Transnistrian) centres. Even if all 12 of these centresare operating, only seven of them were currently
performing at a highly satisfactory level. 22 Continuous YFHS training is provided by UNFP for the
medical staff working in 47 RH cabinets, offering national coverage. 23 The support to the RH cabinets is
implemented in cooperation with the WHO.
RH CP-Outcome 3: All individuals, especially the most vulnerable, enjoy improved access to essential,
good-quality healthcare.
UNFPA’s interventions under this outcome concentrated on commodity security and the improvement of
monitoring commodity use and security. 24 Meanwhile outcome 1 focuses on knowledge and outcome 2 on
services, outcome 3 focuses on commodity security regarding availability and performance. Especially
this component provides services to vulnerable groups. All three outcomes have to be seen as
complementary.

quality assurance in comprehensive reproductive health service delivery, and for reproductive health
commodity security.
