Description:

Private clinics are provided with technical and material supportive supervision to ensure that quality services are provided. Additionally, the project integrates outreach sessions for long-acting and permanent family planning methods as necessary. SIFPO-MSI aligns with and complements the efforts of USAID projects—which support the public sector health facilities—in the regions of operation, creating a comprehensive approach to fertility and maternal and child mortality reductions in those areas.
Expected Results:

- Improved quality assurance standards and results are quantified and disseminated to strengthen family planning performance at the global level
- Increase organizational sustainability of country-level programs
