Advancing Family Planning in Last Mile Communities: Voices of Experiences
2019
The USAID-funded Advancing Partners and Communities (APC) project worked with grantee CCIH to conduct a workshop in September 2019 to explore priority gapes in rolling out voluntary family planning and programming in last-mile communities, where access and use remain low; how programs can link the work of community health workers and other community-based champions to clinics providing family planning; and what faith-based organizations and community-based organizations can do to be advocates in improving access to and utilization of services for last-mile clients. This workshop included partners from various faith traditions from Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda and challenged them to think deeply and in a different way to create concrete recommendations for a way forward for faith communities engaging in family planning.
