Integrated Family Planning Program

Funder

USAID

Overview
2016–Present

Pathfinder designed the Integrated Family Planning Program to meet women where they are. We implement three tailored packages of interventions—a rural package, an urban package, and a combo package—that address the barriers to contraception specific to these areas.

Project Activities


  • Increase contraceptive use by 15% in three provinces by 2021 (leading to 565,000 new contraceptive users).
  • Lead the team of global and local partners—N’weti, Population Services International, and Abt Associates.
  • Address the root causes of limited use of contraception, including distance to health services, provider bias against young people using contraception, myths and misconceptions about contraception, and gender inequities.
  • Integrate contraception into a range of other health services, including primary health care, HIV services, maternal and child health services, and mobile outreach into communities.
