FP and its integration into HIV/AIDS is a major component of Saath-Saath Project (SSP). By providing information and education on FP and FP methods to Key Affected Populations (KAPs) and to help create demand for FP methods and services, development/printing and distribution of comprehensive FP method related SBC material is essential. Outreach staff, Drop-in Center (DIC) Operators and service providers distribute the comprehensive FP/HIV integrated brochures to selected KAPs, so that they will be better informed and choose FP methods and services of their choice.

The seven brochures are:

Family planning
Oral contraceptives
Injectable contraceptives

Saath-Saath Litmus Test Game

Saath-Saath Project (SSP) provided HIV prevention, care, support and treatment services along with family planning (FP) services, referral and gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and mitigation services through its outreach activities and expanded integrated health services (EIHS) sites.

The litmus test game is designed to encourage Female Sex Workers (FSWs) and their clients to realize that even though one may look healthy from outside, they may be carrying infections or may be ill or suffering from some ailment. One may have an infection, but often they do not have immediate, obvious manifestations.

The objectvies are to encourage FSWs and clients of FSWs to visit clinics for STI diagnosis and treatment; and HIV counseling and testing, and to encourage FSWs and clients of FSWs to use condoms correctly and consistently. The game is used by outreach staff during outreach education and group discussions, and also in drop-in centers and clinic waiting rooms.

Safe Motherhood Program Posters

The Nepal Family Health Program (NFHP-I) was a six-year (2002-2007) bilateral activity of United States Agency for International Development, Nepal (USAID/N) with the Government of Nepal. Its overall goal was to support the Government’s long-term goal of reducing fertility and under-five mortality within the context of the National Health Policy and Second Long-Term Health Plan 1997-2017.

These posters were part of the Safe Motherhood Program activity of NFHP, promoting Skilled Birth Attendants and Birth Preparedness and Complication Readiness. They were distributed to all the health facilities of 17 CPDs and also to the NGOs and CBOs of the CB-MNCH district for wider use.

In adddition, the program produced a job aid for health workers on management of the third stage of labor and on family planning counseling and disseminated to all health facilities, PHCCs and Hospitals of 17 Core Program Districts through National Health Education Information and Communication Center (NHEICC) by its partners.

Feedback from the field indicated that the materials had been very effective in filling a major gap for district lever service providers, helping them to better explain about the health messages to a women and their families.

The materials were also being used by the other stakeholders involved in the safe motherhood such as GTZ, SSMP in their respective districts.
