Strong points • Budget item line exists and the government has procured condoms, DMPA, and introduced the Implanon to the FP menu • Effective logistics system • Supply to other sectors like UNRWA, JAFPP, HIV and others are also under the same logistics system
Challenges • Lack of private sector information • Increased demand for contraceptives means increased budget required – ability of the government to meet these needs • High quality products • Family Planning and Health Insurance
