Child Spacing. It is the intention of the project to focus during this period on increasing the numbers of users of modern contraceptives, an effort in which CDS has had good success in the eastern communes. See the intervention description below. CBDs will be a major element of the strategy, and will be trained to advocate against sexual behavior at high risk for HIV/STI infection and promote condom use.

Child Spacing. Child Spacing (15%) Objective End Results • 25% of mothers with children under 24 months old, who do not desire to have a child in the next two years, will use a modern family planning method. • 50% of women with children under 24 months old, will know at least two modern methods for child spacing. The project sought to increase the percent of women of reproductive age and men using modern contraceptives to space the births of their children. The intervention includes: ▪ Use of multi-channel BCC strategy to motivate women and men to use modern contraceptives ▪ Increase access to family planning methods through integration of FP services with immunization, prenatal and postnatal services provided through the Mobile Brigades, and distribution of pills and condoms by APEs and Socorristas ▪ Community-based distribution of condoms through TBAs and Activistas ▪ Improving the FP counseling skills of health personnel Activities and MTE Results There has been limited implementation with this intervention with the exception of the BCC activities and in-service training for health center MCH staff and SC/US trainers. Similarly to the mobilization of pregnant women to use maternity services, CLCS members have been trained and are responsible for the education and motivation of women and men to use modern contraceptives. As mentioned earlier under the maternal and newborn section, FP was also part of the in-service training conducted by the DPS for health center MCH staff and SC/US trainers. No progress has been made towards achieving the objectives set for this intervention. The percent of women with children under two years who reported knowing at least two modern FP methods decreased from a baseline average of 30% to 25% in NaV, with Memba experiencing the most drop in coverage, from 37% to 23%. Modern contraceptive use by women not wishing to have another child in the next two years remained almost the same at baseline average of 16% compared to MTE value of 15%. (See Graph 1)

Child Spacing. Knowledge about the use of modern methods for child spacing is high in the rural communities and continues to increase. • Due to the prevailing shortage of contraceptives in rural areas, and barriers such as tradition and the prevailing desire by men to have more children in rural areas, the team concluded that the actual use of contraceptives by women of child bearing age remains low and it will take time to show a remarkable increase. • Men should be trained about the need for child spacing so that they can actively contribute to the improved health of the mothers and children in the communities.
