Strengthening Egypt's Family Planning Program: The “Strengthening Egypt's Family Planning Program” (SEFPP) Activity will provide technical assistance and training in support of Egypt's Family Planning/Reproductive Health (FP/RH) Program. It is anticipated that the focused interventions under SEFPP will result in increasing demand for FP services and improving the quality of services and ultimately will lead to a positive change in contraceptive use and in reducing fertility over time. The SEFPP will build upon the work of ongoing health activities to the extent feasible. The focus of implementation of the SEFPP Activity will be on the nine governorates of Upper Egypt1 and the slum areas of Cairo and Alexandria. These geographic areas have the highest Total Fertility Rate (TFR) and comparatively low Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR). Support to these governorates will focus on increasing availability and access to high impact interventions in reproductive health as well as ensuring the quality of family planning service provision. Improving the adoption of health behaviors through social and behavior change communication (SBCC) is another major area of emphasis in these governorates. Policy improvement work will have a national focus. FP/RH activities, with varying modalities, may extend to other governorates. Sustainability of activity interventions is a priority. Monitoring, evaluation, and special studies will be conducted throughout implementation in keeping with that goal.
