DESCRIPTION

Increasingly, governments in developing countries seek to offer more accessible, higher quality and cost-effective health services to their target populations by contracting with private providers—both not-for-profit and for-profit—to deliver care. Reproductive health and family planning (RH/FP) services1 have been contracted out either individually or bundled with other essential health services.
