University Name: Family Planning Program Evaluation Report

This report evaluates the effectiveness of family planning programs by comparing different intervention methods and their impacts. The study examines two primary approaches: the family planning service provider model, as implemented in the Philippines, and the social franchising model, particularly the Long-Acting and Permanent Methods (LAPM) used in Kenya. The Philippine study, based on a quasi-experimental design, assessed the impact of training family planning service providers on improving the quality of care and client outcomes. The Kenyan study focused on the prevalence and effectiveness of LAPM within the Tunza community, highlighting its potential advantages over traditional contraceptive methods. The report concludes that the LAPM approach, often facilitated through franchise facilities, is more effective due to its long-term control and reduced side effects compared to the contraceptive method. The report advocates for the incorporation of franchise models in family planning programs for better outcomes.

EVALUATION OF FAMILY PLANNING PROGRAM
Family planning among Philippine women is developed by the family planning service
providers and they developed different ways of the interventions for the family planning. In the
following essay would be based on comparison between two methods of the family planning
program and developing the idea about which one of the methods is more effective.
According to Jain et al. (2012), family planning among the Philippine women is under
supervision of the family planning service providers. A study among the women of Davao del
Norte province was preceded by means of the quasi experimental design and the participants
were the family planning service providers and their supervisors. These two groups were trained
in the experiment about the information exchange that is listening to the client’s problem and
responding with accurate information that would help the client whereas the facilitative
supervision means the emphasizing in mentoring, problem solving and the two way
communication. This training helped in the knowledge development of the service providers and
highlighted that the providers successfully given better service to the women. Good quality care
was provided to the clients and it has been seen that the decreasing amount of the unwanted
pregnancy and increasing amount of the contraceptive continuation. However, this method did
not show any significant difference in terms of the client level outcome as the targeted group and
the control group showed more or less similar results.
Chakraborty, Mbondo and Wanderi, (2016), highlighted that the study among the Tunza
community women of Kenya productive age seeks better care and family planning. The study
showed that the 53% of the women of the regions had used modern contraceptives whereas
24.8% women have showed the prevalence of the long acting or permanent method (LAPM).
The study also highlighted that there is no proper difference among the old contraceptive use and
modern contraceptive usage. However, it highlighted that the LAPM process has better access to

the family planning process. It also showed that the adherence to the LAPM process among the
Tunza community women than the other control group. According to this study it can be said
that the intervention process of family planning would be better by the franchise facility as it
provides the LAPM facility in a better and cost effective way. Thus it can be said that the
franchise facility is better than the family planning provider contraceptive method in the
Philippines. The franchise facility would be needed to be incorporated in the family planning
procedure of Philippines. The LAPM procedure on the other hand is safer than the contraceptive
usage as the contraceptives have some side effects on the body if it would be used in continued
way and the LAPM is the process of long term control in pregnancy and help the women plan
their family without facing any problem and significantly effective manner.
Based on the above discussion it can be concluded that family planning intervention
would be more effective in case of the LAPM usage whereas the contraceptive method does not
show any significant change. Thus incorporation of franchise method of family planning would
be needed in the Philippines province for better result.
