Contraception (birth control)
is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in
order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman
becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the
utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices,
practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception
or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed
birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family
planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical
issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less
controversial than abortion specifically. |

Contraception (Birth Control) and Family Planning |
| Collaboration between Bangladesh and Indonesia in the field of family |
| Jakarta, Indonesia, National Family Planning Coordinating Board [BKKBN], 1994. |
| This pamphlet was produced by the Indonesian National Family Planning Program (BKKBN). It describes and |
| analyzes the bilateral relationship between Bangladesh and Indonesia, and family planning (FP) activities during |
| 1980-82 and 1987-present in its Observation Study Tours (OSTs). The aim of this pamphlet is to explain the |
| interaction between the 2 countries and to suggest a model for other countries. During the early 1980s, Thana FP |
| officers from Bangladesh visited Indonesia to learn about Indonesia's FP program. Bangladesh staff learned a lot, |
| but applied little. In 1987, the Upazila Initiative aimed to teach Bangladesh staff about FP implementation, to apply |
| the lessons learned, and to involve community leaders as well as FP personnel. During 1987-93, 15 groups of 24 |
| participants attended OSTs. The project was successful for all parties. Bangladesh learned, for example, that its |
| program should include organized female volunteers at the grass-roots level, a system of committees to manage |
| volunteers, ELCO maps, and involvement of political and government infrastructure. BKKBN learned how to plan an |
| exchange program. The program learned the importance of focusing on the grass roots level, meetings in small |
| groups with facilitators, and facilitating thinking about how to creatively improve upon their own programs. Multilateral |
| OSTs have been conducted for 517 participants from 65 countries since 1989. The Upazila Initiative led the way for |
| a larger multilateral effort. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 3576-06) |
