Over the last 23 years, Stephen M. Goldstein has managed a series of reproductive health information activities and projects for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) designed to promote evidence-based family planning and related reproductive health practices for health service providers in developing countries. Steve helped to conceptualize, publish, and disseminate the on-line and print versions of Family Planning: A Global Handbook for Providers; helped conceptualize the online K4Health toolkits (designed to provide audiences with selected information about specific health topics); managed the production and dissemination of various print and online publications such as Population Reports and INFO Reports; and worked to promote K4Health and its predecessor INFO and PIP projects with the news media and at international development conferences.
