Project Resources
ICA Foundation collaborative partners, donation recipients and project implementers will find helpful resources below including:
- Materials for project training;
- Information, education and communication (IEC) materials; and
- Project documentation and reporting form to submit to the Foundation.
Training Tools
Training manual
Along with LNG IUS donation, organizations receiving donation will also receive tools to facilitate provider training. These include LNG IUS demos, small plastic uterus models, and a CD-ROM training manual.
Training presentation
This presentation can be used to train providers who will be inserting LNG IUS and familiarize them with the characteristics of the LNG IUS, its mechanism of action, as well as details of its indication and usage. Commonly asked questions from women and appropriate responses are also reviewed in the presentation. The compilation of this LNG IUS training PowerPoint presentation was a collaborative effort from ICA Foundation Board Members and skilled physicians and was made in response to partners’ requests for additional training resources.
The Foundation encourages all donation recipients to use these materials as much as possible. Please contact the Foundation if you would like more training products, additional copies of training materials, or have any questions.

Information Materials
Patient Information Sheet
This information sheet is for LNG IUS providers to give to clients during contraceptive counseling, before LNG IUS insertion, and should be available for clients to take home and refer to throughout LNG IUS use.
Provider Information
This information sheet is for LNG IUS providers to reference for their own technical information and interest. The sheet includes scientific research results from LNG IUS, effectiveness studies, detailed descriptions of side effects and counter-indications, as well as medical benefits and limitations of LNG IUS use.
Project Administration
Technical Progress Report Form
Donation receiving organizations are requested to complete a Technical Progress Report every 6 months to be submitted to the ICA Foundation Board. The Technical Progress Report Form provides an outline of all the requested information, including that to be presented in paragraph and in table format. Please complete the form and submit to the ICA Foundation secretariat on, at least, a semi-annual basis.
Case Study Guidelines
Case studies will be conducted on certain country projects, providing in-depth detail into the commodity procurement and distribution system, provider and client perceptions of LNG IUS, and other activities of interest to the ICA Foundation and/or the receiving organization. The case study guidelines highlight specific methods and information to be included in the case study report. Discussion and arrangement with the ICA Foundation should be arranged before case study procedures begin.
