DESCRIPTION
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/ Bangladesh commissioned the SHOPS project to conduct a private sector assessment in Bangladesh that would inform potential strategic investments in long-acting and permanent methods (LA/PMs) and injectable contraceptive service provision in the private sector. Few publications address LA/PMs and even fewer focus on the private sector. The assessment defined the private sector as nongovernmental organizations and for-profit health providers. This brief summarizes the methods, findings, and key recommendations of the assessment.
