Broad Program

This article presents the results of a number of operations research studies (OR) of family planning services provided by a new cadre of female village-based family planning workers in Punjab Province, Pakistan. This cadre of workers, recruited nationwide, have been trained to visit women in their villages to provide information and family planning services. The studies were conducted as part of a broad program of technical assistance to the Government of Pakistan. Surveys investigated the quality of their training as well as attitudes among clients to the new program. They found that the program is developing well but there is room for improvement, particularly in counseling and training. Additional field studies are ongoing and recommendations for change have been incorporated in training and supervision. The program is expanding on a national scale.

This Institute came into being in order to provide information on Africa and its problems for official institutions, private organisations, and the general public throughout Scandinavia. It functions as a part of the University of Uppsala, but has its own board of governors and its own budget. The need for such a centre was first discussed in the Swedish Parliament in 1961; the matter was then referred to a Royal Commission which at the time was dealing with Swedish aid to under-developed countries, in particular with the recruitment and training of technical assistance experts.
