Scaling Up Family Planning in Zambia: Assessment and Feasibility of Scaling Up an Innovative Program
  • In 2012, Zambia made a commitment to increase its contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) to 58 percent by 2020 through a mix of policy and programmatic initiatives
  • Scaling Up Family Planning (SUFP) was a four-year effort designed to work within the existing health system to increase the uptake of FP services to underserved populations by:
    • Recruiting a district level FP coordinator
    • Increasing demand at the community level
    • Jumpstarting outreach with an intensive camping approach
    • Boosting provider capacity via training
    • Ensuring that supply chain delivers
  • AIM: To assess the efficacy of SUFP and the feasibility of integrating successful interventions from SUFP into Zambia’s health system
