Active Community Engagement Continuum
The ACQUIRE Project has developed a continuum for active community engagement (ACE) designed for those organizations or projects focused on service delivery.  This presentation describes the ACE continuum and helps those involved with serving clients to look at those clients as community members and to analyze how much community members are empowered through the process of engaging them in their reproductive health care.

ACQUIRE's Integrated Demand Approach: Communications and Community Engagement to Increase Knowledge, Awareness and Use of LAPMs
This presentation highlights ACQUIRE’s activities to increase demand for family planning and long-acting and permanent methods of family planning in particular. On the demand side, closely linked communications campaigns and community engagement activities were used to reach out to potential family planning users or those who may consider long-acting and permanent methods (LAPMs)—IUDs, implants, and male and/or female sterilization. This is referred to as ACQUIRE’s Integrated Demand Approach, since it closely links the two disciplines of communications and community engagement. (2008)
