The Urban Initiative for Reproductive Health is a groundbreaking, multi-year initiative to create and promote real policy solutions to address the reproductive health challenges facing cities today.

The kick-off for the Initiative was the national Urban Initiative for Reproductive Health Summit on May 8, 2008, at which delegations of advocates and public officials from over 35 cities convened to highlight challenges, successes, and opportunities for creating change at the local level. Following the Summit, advocates and public officials will continue to work together to create and implement a local reproductive health agenda that is specific to each urban area. Through our collective efforts, we can promote real solutions to improve the reproductive health of individuals living in urban communities.

The Urban Initiative is a program of the National Institute for Reproductive Health.
