Provision for Wider Family Planning Options
Objective
USAID's objective is to widen the menu of family planning choices available commercially. This project aims to provide more options through the support of unsubsidized contraceptives but maintaining quality and affordability. USAID supports the social marketing of low-priced pills and injectables using the "full cost recovery" approach..
Project End: The project ends in September 2005.
The Philippine Social Marketing Program:
DKT INTERNATIONAL
With USAID's phasing down of its contraceptive donations, the TRUST Family Program has a very real and valuable role to play in the transition from a free contraceptive delivery system to a sustainable and commercial delivery model.
The program promotes contraceptive products, builds and expands the market and harnesses the active participation of the private commercial companies to ensure the future of family planning program and HIV/AIDS prevention in the Philippines.
Efforts are concentrated on increasing the usage of oral contraceptive pills and injectable contraceptives
and expanding the market for these maximizing the following opportunities:
1. Fill in the unmet need for family planning, specifically those who can afford unsubsidized products.
2. Generate new demand for contraceptives among potential users.
3. Capture potential drop-outs from the phase-out of the free contraceptive supply in the public sector.
