Three high-volume facilities in Mpanda DC run informed-choice FP days, with ASUTA peers managing demand-side flow and consent.

01

The model

Facility-led clinical service, community-led demand and counselling. ASUTA peers ran method-mix counselling outside the consult room; clinicians ran insertion, injection and oral provision inside.

02

Day one tally

218 women counselled, 167 left with a chosen method — implant uptake notably higher (47%) than the regional baseline of 28%.
