In April 2007, the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA) signed an agreement with World Learning and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) for the Expanding Voluntary Use of Contraception in the Central Terai Region of Nepal project. Central Terai is home to some of the nation’s most marginalized populations. The project’s goal was to maximize the number of well-planned families resulting from improved family planning and reproductive health practices by utilizing a cadre of trained volunteers to disseminate information, counsel families and provide commodities. The evaluation of the program showed success in improving spousal communication and family planning knowledge in this region of Nepal. This poster presentation was displayed at the 2009 International Conference on Family Planning: Research and Best Practices in Kampala.
