At the request of the Ministry of Health, USAID Rwanda initiated a qualitative evaluation of family planning in Rwanda with the collaboration of a team composed of The Ministry of Health, USAID/Rwanda, Advance Africa, the DELIVER Project, and PRIME II II/Rwanda. The qualitative evaluation was conducted between January 28 and February 23, 2002. The collaboration of multiple agencies and experts enabled the team to draw upon a wide range of technical resources. The objective established by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and USAID/Rwanda was to identify major barriers and opportunities for delivering family planning information and services in the country. Given the significant decrease in the utilization of modern contraceptives revealed by the 2000 DHS, both USAID/Rwanda and the MOH considered this assessment as a significant step in designing strategies for maximizing resources to improve access and quality of family planning services. Discussions were held with representatives of a number of ministries, institutions, donors, religious and community leaders in Kigali and in six Provinces. The report incorporates diverse perspectives and proposes appropriate strategies from a multi-disciplinary approach to address obstacles and identify opportunities to strengthen family planning services for Rwandans.
