The Added Value of Integrating Family Planning into Community-based Services: Learning from Implementation - March 2017

چکیده
The idea of integrated services in development programming is not new. Within the health sector, the integration of family planning (FP) programs with other services has a long history. Most frequently, FP has been integrated with maternal and child health and HIV/STI services.1 The U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Bureau of Global Health has supported the integration of FP and reproductive health (RH), and reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health (RMNCH) into other health and non-health services for decades with projects such as Advance Africa, CATALYST, Extending Service Delivery, the Flexible Fund and Evidence to Action.2,3 These projects integrated RH/FP information into life-skills education programs; FP methods and counseling into community and hospital HIV counseling and testing and services to prevent mother-to-child transmission; FP into environmental programs; and leveraged FP services to improve socioeconomic development.
