ABSTRACT

Door to door family planning services by women to women have been the central strategy in the highly successful

national family planning program of Bangladesh. There is a growing consensus within the Bangladesh government

and the donor community, however, that domiciliary services are no longer necessary and are not cost effective. This

study examined some of the perceptions, strategies, and patterns of interaction that have developed in relation to the

domiciliary system of family planning service delivery. The paper presents data from a 6-year, 6-village ethnographic

study of changing reproductive and gender norms by drawing in particular on a recent intensive assessment to

document community perceptions of, and interactions with, health and family planning services. The paper

highlights problems that need attention as the role of community-based family planning workers is modified and

clinics and satellite clinics become the focal point for reproductive health services. Finally, the paper identifies

aspects of the current system that might be built upon in devising transition strategies. (PubHealth.info Document ID:
