Introducing Community-Based Provision of Family Planning Services in Rwanda: A Process Evaluation of the First Six Months of Implementation
As Rwanda is Africa's most densely populated country, the Government (GOR) has recognized that facilitating rational population growth is key to its economic development. The GOR has set a target of achieving 70% contraceptive prevalence by 2012. Among other strategies, the GOR is working to increase access to modern contraceptive services by bringing them closer to the population. To this end, the Ministry of Health (MOH) adopted a strategy of using community health workers (CHWs) in the delivery of FP services at the village level.
