Why Community-Based Access to Injectable Contraceptives?
Community-based family planning programs typically offer condoms, oral contraceptives, and, increasingly, standard days method, and refer people to clinics for other contraceptive methods. Programs in a number of countries, however, have demonstrated that appropriately-trained community health workers (CHWs) can safely and effectively provide injectable contraceptives. Training and authorizing a wider range of providers to give injections can expand access to a woman's preferred method, reduce unmet need for family planning in hard-to-reach areas, and address the critical health workforce shortage faced by many countries.
