Background • mCPR 45% - predominant use of short-term methods • Low use of Long term Acting Contraception(LARC) • Zambia FP 2020 commitment-increase CPR to 58% • Zambia Integrated Family Planning Scale-Up Plan 2013 - 2020 • FP Method mix in Zambia
Funder: USAID • Project period: 2015 - 2020 • Goal: Increase mCPR by 2% per year • Supports 88/303 (29%) public facilities in 15 supported districts • Catchment area population for women in childbearing age (WCBA) – 731,054 • SARAI covers 47% of population of WCBA Kanchibiya Lavunshi Manda
Program Interventions Aim: To support expansion of LARC Services Specific Interventions • Dedicated FP Providers. • Off Duty Providers • Community based Distributors *Project offers voluntary FP Services

Conclusion • Sustained monitoring, mentoring and supervision of FP providers facilitates increased LARC uptake • Engagement of trained community workers for demand generation and service delivery is an integral part of shifting to LARCs • A consolidated holistic approach involving leadership, facilities, communities an supply chain of commodities is key to sustainable FP approaches • It is feasible to shift the FP needle toward more LARCs methods in a public sector setting while leveraging existing public health systems
