  3. What is FP Integration • Integration refers to the incorporation of aspects of 2 or more services as a single, coordinated, combined service. • It involves offering FP and other services at the same facility, with the provider of each service actively encouraging clients to consider using the other service during the same visit. • If services are not offered in the same room, strong referrals are required.

  6. Challenges of Integration • Requires additional records FP and other services which are often implemented and funded by different programs • Shortage of contraceptive commodities • Provider bias against providing contraception to certain client types (e.g., prenuptial and newly married couples, adolescents)
