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.

ABSTRACT

The USAID Population/Family Planning Project for Tunisia was evaluated by a 4-man team from July 21-August 1,

1975. The team was to determine the project's status, outline a strategy for phasing out USAID support by mid-1977

and set up criteria for further USAID assistance. Tunisian family planning programs historically lacked

management/implementation skills. The creation of the Office National du Planning Familial et de la Population

(ONPFP) and appointment of President Director General Chekir alleviated many problems, mainly by recruiting highly

qualified, youthful management teams. Program effectiveness depends on the will of the Regional Administrator and

varies with individual personalities. Recommendations by the evaluation team include greater use of existing

facilities; better dissemination of family planning information; national policy on the role of the nurse/midwide;

addition of 2 full-time physicians to ONPFP; update national program goals; adopt community-based distribution

system; resolve authority diffusion at local levels; training physicians in mini-laparoscopy technique; evaluations at

regular intervals. The success of the Tunisian program is indicated by a marked decrease in birth rate in 1974.

Since Tunisia is a model program in the Muslim world it was recommended that USAID continue support until FY

1978. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT7T 3076-06)
