The IFPS Project rapidly
moved towards achievement of its objectives. There has
been remarkable progress which is evident from various
evaluation studies and surveys.
USAID conducted a survey in 1999 to evaluate NGO
activity. It showed that in 15 districts where SIFPSA
worked with NGOs, the modern spacing method use had
almost doubled in three and half years. This clearly
brought out that the Project had begun to make an
impact.
| Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) |
A survey conducted in October-2003 by USAID for
tracking the performance of the IFPS project showed a
marked improvement in 33 districts where SIFPSA
activities were concentrated. In 1995, the CPR was
20.9 percent in these 33 districts. It is
worth-mentioning that performance (annualized
increase) in SIFPSA area is better to the counterpart
figure for the entire state by 31 per cent. Moreover,
the performance on spacing methods indicator in SIFPSA
area is better than entire U.P. performance by 50
percent.
This shows that RCH services are growing rapidly and
SIFPSA funded projects are contributing significantly
to family planning use in U.P. |
