Multiple countries are employing community-based access to injectable contraceptives (CBA2I) strategies to help achieve their Family Planning 2020 goals since CBA2I has the potential to dramatically expand access to and use of modern contraceptive methods.Three of the most common CBA2I strategies include training community health workers (CHWs) to administer injectable contraceptives, expanding access to injectable contraception through drug shops, and providing mobile services in areas where other services are limited or do not exist. Advancing Partners & Communities (APC) is supporting expansion of CBA2I services as part of a larger commitment to broadening the family planning method mix at the community level.
In this second issue of the APC Quality Improvement Brief, APC describes the progress to date in systematic efforts to improve the quality of CBFP in Busia District and plans to scale up these efforts in two other districts in Uganda.
