Abstract
The Population Council is an established leader in the development of reproductive health technologies. An estimated 170 million individuals worldwide use a highly effective contraceptive that was developed based on science generated by the Council. This infographic provides the Council’s four-stage product introduction framework that spans the continuum from product development to reaching the end-user. Stage 1 is Innovation, Stage 2 is Investment, Stage 3 is Launch, and Stage 4 is Scale Up. The Council works with stakeholders every step of the way from innovation to scale up into health systems. Advocates identify health areas of critical need; users inform our product design; donors, social entrepreneurs, manufacturers, and other market actors invest in our ideas; policymakers and implementers in the public and private sectors assist in launching the health technology; and health-care providers and consumers provide feedback on how well technologies are addressing needs while product designers and manufacturers continuously improve the technology.
