Benin's Community-Based Access to Injectable Contraceptives Pilot Project

Global research evidence on community-based access to injectable contraceptives (CBA2I) shows that trained community health workers (CHWs) can safely, acceptably, and effecitvely provide injectable contraceptive services in their communities. In addition, recent international technical guidance promotes the introduction, continuation, and scale-up of this service delivery model. Currently, women in Benin can only access injectable contraceptives at a health facility, thereby limiting access to those who live in rural communities.
