Abstract

Within refugee settlements, the uptake of family planning (FP) services remains low, despite their availability. Cultural taboos, misinformation, and stigma often discourage women of reproductive age (15–49 years) from actively seeking these services. To expand access to FP services using existing, low-cost approaches and appropriate communication mechanisms and scale-up platforms, Baobab and partners are harnessing existing food distribution and refugee verification platforms as a strategic avenue for reaching women with FP information and counseling, coupled with strengthened referral procedures between these platforms and health facilities for actual FP provision and uptake.
