Provision of Injectable Contraception Services through Community-Based Distribution in Zambia
This handbook, adapted and revised from the December 2010 edition, describes how to introduce injectable contraceptives to family planning services offered in an existing community-based distribution (CBD) program. The approach is based on the experiences of three pilot projects -- Zambia, Uganda and Madagascar. These countries are highlighted because of a persistent need for family planning services, the existence of established CBD programs, and the willingness of their governments to adopt this method of providing injectable contraceptives.
