Pathfinder engaged DAMAX Solutions to assess the capacity of health facilities in delivering key Family Planning (FP) services, including interval FP, comprehensive post-abortion care (cPAC), post-partum family planning (PPFP), and post-abortion family planning (PAFP).
DAMAX employed a cross-sectional mixed-methods approach, integrating quantitative and qualitative methodologies to evaluate service delivery adherence to established guidelines and youth-friendly care standards. Data collection included 36 facility audits, 65 provider interviews, 12 mystery client observations, in-depth interviews with 9 mentors, 3 focus group discussions with community-based service providers (CBSPs), and 206 client exit interviews.
This comprehensive assessment provided valuable insights into service quality, enabling Pathfinder to evaluate facility capacity and identify areas for improvement in delivering effective family planning services to target populations.
