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 effectively 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. Advocacy efforts in Benin began in 2012 to gain key stakeholder support for launching a pilot project for community-based provision of injectables through the Aides-Soignantes cadre.
