Contraceptive Security in the Central Asian Republics: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan

The United States Agency for International Development/Central Asian Republics (USAID/CAR) is currently drafting its next mission strategy, and has identified contraceptive security (CS) as an impediment to achieving the mission's health objectives (Hare et al. 2004). The mission has specifically identified a need for more information in the form of a CS assessment report for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. This assessment offers specific recommendations for possible Ministry of Health (MOH) and USAID interventions to promote CS in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan.
