From 2020 to 2025, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), with funding from the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), led a programme entitled “Establishing Best Practices for Government-Led Product Introductions” (referred to as the Best Practices Grant)—an ambitious £40 million initiative aimed at improving access to Reproductive Health (RH) commodities across several low- and middle-income countries.

hera was contracted by CHAI to conduct the final external evaluation of the BPG, with a mandate to capture lessons, assess results, and generate insights to inform both the FCDO’s final Programme Completion Review and future investments in RH market shaping.
