Issues in the Financing of Family Planning Services in Sub-Saharan Africa

This report addresses major issues related to the financing of family planning services in sub-Saharan Africa by consolidating and analyzing available information, much of which is not published or readily available. It is addressed to policy-makers and program managers in African government and donor agencies active in the health and family planning fields, and aims to identify gaps in the information base that will need to be filled to facilitate policy and program change. A series of policy briefs highlighting key issues is also available (Family Health International, 1999).
