Integrated Family Planning & Reproductive Health Program: A Community Based Approach, CATALYST/TAHSEEN Project in Egypt
Summary: The TAHSEEN integrated family planning and reproductive health model focuses on improving the quality of care, mobilizing the community, and ensuring long-term sustainability. TAHSEEN’s community-based model for provision of RH/FP services (including the IUD) involves training of providers, community mobilization, linkages to non-health programs, working with media, and enforcing the message through behavioral change and communication activities. The linked document is a brief description of the TAHSEEN model, which is currently implemented in 54 communities in 4 governorates in Upper Egypt.
