ABSTRACT

On April 11, 1975 a presidential order was issued outlining the duties assigned to the Division of Population Control

and Family Planning of the Ministry of Health of the government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh. These

duties include responsibility to determine policy on population control and family planning, to prepare projects, and

to coordinate and evaluate all related activities. Additionally, the Division was instructed to carry out research and

training activities related to the population effort, to perform a variety of motivational and service delivery efforts, and

to accept responsibility for the activities of the government maternal and child health centers. Organizational and

managerial requirements are considered in this report within the general framework of governmental policy and

anticipated governmental directives concerning the organization and functions of the Division. In addition the

responsibilites of the Division, the remaining 9 sections of the report concentrate on the following areas: 1) new

management concepts; 2) Central Office of the Directorate; 3) district program organization; 4) national family

planning and maternal and child health logistics system; 5) program policies and the role of women; 6) training; 7)

pilot Thanas; 8) the need for patience, timing, and a step by step approach to implementation; and 9) sequence of

implementing activities. It is recommended that initial priority be on the development of the organizational capability

required for the task of family planning services delivery. As this is established, the maternal and child health

component can be strengthened and its coverage extended. Full and successful implementation is expected to

require from 3 to 5 years. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3011-06)
