Jordan Association for Family Planning and Protection: Needs Assessment

The objectives of the JAFPP assessment were to develop recommendations to maintain and improve service quality; expand family planning/reproductive health services and clientele; increase access to quality reproductive health services; and improve JAFPP’s financial stability and cost efficiency.

The most important challenges to enhance JAFPP service delivery include:

• Governance issues that result in too many management/administrative roles and responsibilities resting at board level
• Demand for a narrow range of services is flat even though excess capacity is available
• Access limited by a lower number of fixed clinics and limited clinic hours
• Quality of care and ability to expand access is threatened by low staff morale
• Growing financial gap where current costs are exceeding current revenues

The report includes recommendations for addressing these challenges.
