Managing the Policy Advocacy Process: Drug Shops' Provision of Injectable Contraception in Uganda

Private drug shops could offer an opportunity to expand access to family planning because they are commonplace in rural areas and support a sustainable commercial market for health products. Uganda has 6,363 registered drug shops (2010) and many more unregistered ones serving rural areas where 80% of the population lives (DHS 2011).
