Malawi (2015): COF Report - Evaluating use of Family Planning methods in urban and peri urban areas of Malawi.

To help reduce unmet need for family planning, PSI/Malawi implemented a family planning project with funding from the Dutch Ministry of Development under the Choices and Opportunities Fund (COF). The project aimed at reducing the unmet need through expanded delivery of high quality family planning services that use innovative and integrated approaches in a cost effective manner through social marketing and social franchising approaches. An endline evaluation study was conducted to assess the impact on the key behaviour determinants and population characteristics that are significantly correlated with the use of modern contraceptives. The population for the evaluation comprised all women in the child bearing age from the project districts. Eligible households in the respective Enumeration Areas (EA) were firstly listed then 25 households in each EA were identified by picking the nth household where n household was the sampling interval.

为助力减少计划生育服务的未满足需求，PSI/马拉维（PSI/Malawi）依托荷兰发展部（Dutch Ministry of Development）旗下的“选择与机遇基金（Choices and Opportunities Fund, COF）”提供的资助，实施了一项计划生育项目。本项目旨在通过社会营销与社会特许经营模式，以高性价比方式推广创新整合型服务模式，扩大高质量计划生育服务的供给，从而降低未满足的计划生育需求。本次研究为终线评估（endline evaluation），旨在评估该项目对与现代避孕药具使用显著相关的关键行为决定因素及人口特征的影响。本次评估的研究对象为项目覆盖地区所有处于生育年龄的女性。首先对各枚举区（Enumeration Areas, EA）内符合条件的家庭进行登记造册，随后以抽样间隔n选取第n户家庭的方式，从每个枚举区中抽取25户家庭作为研究样本。
