Abstract
The author addresses the public health challenge posed by the high fertility rate in an impoverished nation like Zambia. The article traces the development of the Family planning programme and analyses reasons for extending birth interval. It also discusses methods of limiting fertility, advantages and disadvantages of birth interval extension. Strategies for cultivating a climate for acceptability for birth interval extension and challenges in limiting fertility are explored.
