DKT Indonesia Success Funds Family Planning Program in Ghana
February 06, 2012
Maternal mortality is high and modern contraceptive use is declining in Ghana even as the unmet need for family planning has increased. The DKT Ghana initiative is a vital step in addressing these major health concerns. In a unique and innovative collaboration, funding for the Ghana contraceptive distribution effort was provided by DKT’s program in Indonesia. The Indonesia program now generates substantial revenue and is able to use some of these to support the Ghana initiative.
