Abstract:

Lack of contraceptive commodities has plagued the CAR region for many years. USAID has determined contraceptive security is a barrier to achieving the Mission's health objectives, identifying a need for more information on this topic in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The PSP-One and DELIVER Projects assessed the state of the family planning commodities as well as evaluated the private sector role in promoting contraceptive security. The report provides an overview of these two areas and offers specific recommendations for possible USAID interventions to improve the availability of affordable and quality family planning products in the three Central Asian countries.
