Online forum on community-based distribution of injectable contraception
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Family Health International (FHI), in collaboration with Management Sciences for Health (MSH), is happy to invite you to participate in:
A Virtual Forum: Addressing Unmet Need for Family Planning in Rural Areas: Introducing Community-Based Distribution of Injectable Contraception
This forum is based on expertise gained through work and research on this topic. Our facilitators include: John Stanback, Senior Associate with FHI's Health Services Research division; and Kirsten Krueger, Senior Program Officer in FHI's Field Programs division. Both facilitators have extensive backgrounds in the field of community-based distribution (CBD) of injectable contraception.
Our facilitators will lead discussions on the following topic areas:
* How does injectable contraception meet the needs and preferences of women in rural areas?
* How can adding injectables to the contraceptive method mix revitalize declining CBD programs?
* How can new injectable technology, such as the subcutaneous injectable "Depo Sub-Q," revolutionize CBD programs?
* How do you introduce injectables into a CBD program? What are some of the lessons learned from programs that have successfully added injectables to their CBD programs?
