ABSTRACT

This document presents an evaluation report made by the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) on the quality of family

planning services in Botswana, Ecuador, Indonesia, Mexico, Niger, Pakistan, Turkey, and Vietnam. This thematic

evaluation aimed to assess the extent to which UNFPA-supported family planning service programs are being

complied based on the Guidelines for UNFPA Support with Family Planning Programs. The introductory part offers

background information, purpose and methodology adopted in evaluating the services and presents summaries of

case-study projects. Evaluation findings are discussed along six dimensions: choice of contraceptive methods;

technical competence; information and counseling; interpersonal relations; mechanisms to encourage continuation;

and appropriateness and acceptability of family planning services. Finally, this report outlines conclusions and

recommendations concerning policy and programmatic issues. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 1027-06)
