Estimating Service Provision Costs from Survey Data: Family Planning Service Provision Structure and Cost in the Philippines

The funding for this research was provided by the Rockefeller Foundation and the EVALUATION Project. The survey used in this study could not have been completed without the cooperation and assistance of the community of international donors, NGOs, local government officials, and the Philippines Department of Health. Their cooperation and generosity with their expertise are much appreciated. We also wish to acknowledge the hard work of interviewers from the Upecon Foundation of the University of the Philippines, the Office of Population Studies of the San Carlos University and the Regional Institute for Mindanao Culture of Xavier University who administered the surveys in Luzon, Cebu, and Mindanao respectively. The paper has benefitted from the comments of Brad Schwartz, David Guilkey and three anonymous referees.
