The EECO project is designed to support the introduction of new and improved contraceptive methods to address method-related reasons for non-use and better meet the reproductive health needs of women and girls.
EECO is comprised of a consortium of partners that includes WCG, PSI, Every1Mobile, ICRW, and Evofem Biosciences. WCG leads the EECO project, bridging the private sector and non-profit worlds.
WCG has pioneered an innovative health care model designed to identify and address provider-level barriers that prevent women from accessing high-quality reproductive health services in Kenya and South Africa.
WCG partners with actress and activist Jessica Biel on a campaign to improve the sexual health IQ of women (ages 18-35) and their partners using funny, provocative, empowering online content. The original campaign launched in 2015 under the name If You Don’t Tell Them, Then Who Will, and garnered over 1 million video views and nearly 1.5 billion media impressions. The new, re-branded Tryst Network launched in early 2018.
WCG Quality Assurance Department provides regulatory compliance and cGMP services to manufacturers, government agencies and non-government organizations engaged in the commercial distribution of healthcare products. Activities include performance of cGMP assessments, supplier qualification, management of medical device and pharmaceutical finished product manufacturers, review of pre-shipment inspection and final test results for product release, post market surveillance and maintaining cGMP regulatory compliance.
Since 2010, the Global Regulatory Affairs Department successfully introduced and maintained the regulatory status of 16 different products including medicines, medical devices and cosmetics in over 90 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the WHO Prequalification Program. Working with partners, manufacturers, government agencies and non-government organizations, our accomplished RA team provides cGMP services to ensure regulatory compliance throughout the product lifecycle: from product development (research, clinical and non- clinical), to the registration, distribution, marketing and post-market surveillance of products. WCG’s White Paper on African Medicines Regulatory Harmonization Initiatives was published in the Nov 2017 edition of Regulatory Rapporteur – the leading international journal for Regulatory Affairs professionals.
Sanitary protection is a basic and often unmet need in low-income areas of the world. Due to the lack of affordable sanitary protection available, girls and women often improvise unhygienic and uncomfortable methods to manage their monthly periods.
WCG’s innovative Project Dignity addressed this unmet need which resulted in the distribution of 50,000 reusable menstrual cups in 16 countries.
