Under CEDPA's ENABLE project, the Family Planning Association of Nepal supported community-based distributors called Adarsha Byakti ("ideal persons"). These women were specially trained to supervise community-based distributors. Both types of workers provide an expanded range of reproductive health and child survival services, forge links with complementary health partners and mobilize communities in support of improved reproductive health. This case study describes the work of these volunteer community workers and identifies the factors that contribute to their effectiveness.
