Abstract
The goal of the Population Council's “Investigación Operacional en Planificación Familiar y Atención Materno-Infantil para América Latina y el Caribe” (INOPAL) program was to conduct operations research and provide technical assistance to improve the coverage, quality, and sustainability of family planning (FP) services in Latin America and the Caribbean. INOPAL II was the successor to INOPAL I (1984–1989). Like its predecessor, INOPAL II was supported by a contract from the USAID Office of Population, when it was replaced by a new USAID-funded project, INOPAL III. INOPAL II objectives included: expanding access to FP services, improving the operations of programs by making them more efficient, increasing access to the full range of contraceptive methods, providing more services to special population groups, and improving program quality. INOPAL II had offices in Bolivia; Guatemala; Haiti; Honduras; Mexico City, Mexico; and Lima, Peru. Dissemination activities included newsletters, conferences, handbooks, and publications. In addition to reporting on the activities carried out by the INOPAL II program, this report summarizes major research findings and discusses the effect of individual operations research subprojects on FP programs.
