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

Departing from the standpoint that timely and appropriate information is essential to effective management of any

system or program, this paper focuses upon considerations for more effective management and information systems

design for the family planning field. The effective management of information is essential for setting program goals,

determining specific strategies as well as evaluating a program's performance. Ineffective management of many

family planning efforts is seen as the result of the diversified interests of the many professional traditions involved in

a program's design and execution. The paper provides guidelines by which the researcher, the evaluator, the

statistician and the accountant might better structure their specialized tasks required in the decision-making

processes of the program manager. Key elements are provided for a more concise definition of program planning

and control. Roles and responsibilities are reconsidered in hopes of better organizing tasks to meet the needs of the

program manager. The importance of marketing research and research analysis to program planning are presented

as essential, and yet areas which many programs do not focus upon as priorities in planning. External auditing and

consulting services are also presented as potential sources for greater effectiveness in program management.
