Bangladesh Private Sector Assessment of Long Acting and Permanent Family Planning Methods and Injectable Contraceptives

ORGANIZATION
USAID

YEAR PUBLISHED
2011

DESCRIPTION

The findings of this assessment are a clear case for investing in LAPMs. It will have the effect of reducing general rates of discontinuation, reducing unwanted pregnancies due to imperfect use of a selected method, and ultimately contribute to the reduction of the TFR. The case for investing in the private sector is also clear and will have the effect of increasing access to these services among all quintiles which are already seeking other health services through the private sector.
