 Strategies, Action Points and
Timeline

also employs the following main strategies to ensure universal access to FP:

1. FP Outreach Mission – this maximizes opportunities where clients are and FP services
are delivered down to the community level.
2. FP in hospitals – this address missed opportunities where women especially those who
recently gave birth are offered with appropriate FP services.
3. Intensive Demand generation through house-to-house visits by the community health
volunteers, Family Development Sessions, Usapan sessions, among others
