- 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
