Programs around the world have demonstrated that allowing trained CHWs to administer injectable contraceptives can expand access to a woman's preferred method, reduce unmet need for family planning in underserved areas, address the critical health workforce shortage faced by many countries, and increase the contraceptive prevalence rate. In Africa 13 countries are piloting, scaling up and/or changing policies to support the CBA2I practice.  Twelve of these 13 countries permit CHWs to screen clients for eligibility to use injectable contraception and provide the first injection.
