ABSTRACT

Resulting from the Kanpur Project, a joint research endeavor on the organization of family planning Uttar Pradesh,

India, it is argued that developing countries neither have the requisite organizational capacity nor the political

commitment necessary for the particular family planning strategies they have adopted. Nevertheless, one can try to

increase the organizational capacity to translate policies into action, or one can devise policies that recognize

organizational constraints. S ome analytic distinctions are introduced to facilitate the discussion of the goal-

oriented family planning activities, and the basic elements of an organizational analysis that provide the necessary

connection is desc ribed. In addition, it is argued that in a situation where many complex environmental forces affect

organizational performance, an open-systems model of organization is particularly important. Questions concerning

family planning policies are raised in this context. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3015-06)
