Total Market

PATH has drawn on its global experience from our total market approach (TMA) work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Uganda, and Vietnam to produce a TMA planning guide to increase access to family planning. The guide and toolkit (Planning Guide for a Total Market Approach to Increase Access to Family Planning: Toolkit and Glossary), produced by The Evidence Project, contain practical information and specific tools to help organizations and other planners conduct a landscape assessment, the first phase in developing a TMA. | These resources are part of a larger toolkit, which also includes an in-depth market analysis and two-volume handbook produced by MEASURE Evaluation, and a joint publication by all three projects (Guide for Assessing the Impact of a Total Market Approach to Family Planning Programs).

Roll Out

Almost 50 years after domestic US family planning programs began, their effects on childbearing remain controversial. Using the county-level roll-out of these programs from 1964 to 1973, this paper reevaluates their shorter and longer term effects on US fertility rates. I find that the introduction of family planning is associated with significant and persistent reductions in fertility driven both by falling completed childbearing and childbearing delay. Although federally funded family planning accounted for a small portion of the post-baby boom US fertility decline, my estimates imply that they reduced childbearing among poor women by 19 to 30 percent.

The Impact

Civil society plays an important role in the provision of high quality family planning programs. Civil society organizations (CSOs) are often involved in expanding services, raising awareness, generating demand, and advocating for an improved enabling environment to ensure women and men have full, free and informed choice to determine whether and when they have children. Despite being a valued partner in many programs, there is little evidence on the contribution that CSOs have made to family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) programs in terms of the types of activities undertaken and the impact that they can have. This review summarizes the evidence on civil society’s engagement in improving family planning programs and highlights the possible opportunities to further strengthen civil society engagement in family planning programs.
