Family Planning

The game is facilitated by a Boma Health Worker (BHW), or other influential community members, and includes  an implementation guide, the interactive game, and a child spacing planning card. 

1. Implementation Guide 

The implementation guide is for program implementers that oversee high-level activities and help facilitate coordination of program activities with state and county level staff. This guide will walk you through what you need to know about the Breakthrough ACTION South Sudan male engagement game solution set.

2. Interactive Game

There are three primary types of interactive cards – Quiz cards, Life Event cards and Discussion cards. Prior to playing the game in each community, BHWs or relevant leaders will have an opportunity to exclude game cards that do not suit the community’s context. This ability to tailor the game and include only the most relevant game cards increases the scalability and adaptability of the game across various regions

3. Child Spacing Planning Card

The child spacing planning card is a physical reminder for couples to have child spacing conversations. It models for couples how to approach these conversations and prompts them to plan to visit the health facility together. It is handed to participants after the play the game.

The game itself is designed in a similar structure to "Together we Grow". It should to be adapted based on where you are implementing it. It is recommended that you tailor the game at the Boma level with input from community leaders. Specific guidance is included in the implementation guide. 

Although this document offers initial guidance around implementation of the solution-set, note that this is an evolving document. The suggestions for implementation are based on preliminary insights that the Breakthrough ACTION team gathered. Throughout the document, we have tried to note where additional testing or work may be needed. We encourage implementers to build upon and adjust this document as needed.
