A Comparison of the Performance of Male and Female CBD Distributors in Peru
This report presents the results of an operations research project to increase male involvement in family planning in Peru. Two community-based distribution (CBD) programs, PROFAMILIA of Lima and CENPROF of Trujillo, Peru, recruited male contraceptive distributors and compared their performance to that of female distributors recruited at the same time. Both programs found it harder to recruit men than women as distributors. Program supervisors, w…
The Impact of Service Delivery Frequency on Family Planning Program Output and Efficiency
Operations research is the study of factors that can be controlled by program administrators. Among such factors is the frequency of performing program activities. The present experiment, conducted in Lima, Peru during 1985-86, tested the impact of holding family planning post sessions once per month, twice per month, and weekly. Frequency was shown to have a major impact on program outputs, costs, and cost-effectiveness. Depending on the indicat…
Quarterly versus Monthly Supervision of CBD Family Planning Programs
The cost-effectiveness of reducing the frequency of routine supervision from monthly to quarterly was evaluated in a closely controlled field experiment conducted in a community-based distribution program in Piaui State in northeast Brazil. The results demonstrated substantial potential savings in supervisors' salaries and travel at no cost to program performance (new acceptors, revisits, distributor turnover). A possible reason for this finding …
