By better coordination of resources and activities, some countries improved access to family planning for underserved populations. For example, the share of FP services provided by social security institutes has increased in Guatemala, Paraguay, and Nicaragua in recent years, which has relieved !nancial pressure on the MOHs and helped them expand their coverage of the poor (Demographic and Reproductive Health Surveys). Paraguay Passes Law to Protect Contraceptive Security In 2006, Paraguay’s congress enacted a law, Funding for Reproductive Health Commodities and Safe Birth Kits, that directly earmarks funds for reproductive health commodities, including contraceptives.This law guarantees funding for commodities and helps sustain contraceptive availability. Guatemalan Congress Sets Family Planning Law in Motion In 2005, an unprecedented initiative was presented to Guatemala’s congress to strengthen the policy framework for family planning. It went further than any previous political action ever taken by requiring the government to ensure and monitor the !nancing and provision of family planning services and supplies. One of the mandates of the Universal and Equitable Access to Family Planning Services Law was to form a monitoring CS committee to address the key challenges to securing stable !nancing of contraceptives. 4 � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � � Sustaining Contraceptive Security by Strengthening Procurement ,Q�������WKH�5HJLRQDO�,QLWLDWLYH�UHFRJQL]HG�WKDW� SURFXUHPHQW�ZDV�D�PDMRU�SUREOHP�LQ�VHFXULQJ�D� VWHDG\�ÁRZ�RI �FRQWUDFHSWLYHV�WR�WKH�/$&�FRXQWULHV�� PDQ\�VWRFNRXWV�ZHUH�FDXVHG�E\�ERWWOHQHFNV�LQ�WKH� SURFXUHPHQW�SURFHVV�� 7R�KHOS�DGGUHVV�WKLV�FKDOOHQJH��WKH�5HJLRQDO�,QLWLDWLYH� FRQYHQHG�D�PXOWLSDUWQHU�WHDP³WKH�86$,'�_� '(/,9(5�352-(&7��86$,'�_�+($/7+�32/,&<� 352-(&7��86$,'�PLVVLRQV��WKH�8�1��3RSXODWLRQ� )XQG��81)3$���DQG�KRVW�FRXQWU\�JRYHUQPHQWV³WR� VWXG\�WKH�FRQWUDFHSWLYH�SURFXUHPHQW�VLWXDWLRQ�DQG� LGHQWLI\�YLDEOH�RSWLRQV�IRU�FRXQWULHV�ZLWK�VLPLODU� UHJXODWRU\�DQG�WHFKQLFDO�FRQVWUDLQWV�� 2QFH�WKH�WHDP�KDG�D�SODQ�DQG�FOHDU� UHFRPPHQGDWLRQV³EDVHG�RQ�H[WHQVLYH�UHVHDUFK��KLJK� OHYHO�GLVFXVVLRQV�ZLWK�81)3$·V�SURFXUHPHQW�VHUYLFHV� EUDQFK��FRQVXOWDWLRQV�ZLWK�H[SHUWV�LQ�SURFXUHPHQW� UHJXODWLRQV��DQG�ORFDO�FRXQWU\�VXUYH\V²²WKH\� GHYHORSHG�DGYRFDF\�PHVVDJHV�DQG�WDUJHWHG�WHFKQLFDO� DVVLVWDQFH�WR�VWUHQJWKHQ�FRQWUDFHSWLYH�SURFXUHPHQW�LQ� FRXQWULHV��RQH�E\�RQH��IURP������WKURXJK������� ,Q�������WKH�5HJLRQDO�,QLWLDWLYH��LQ�FROODERUDWLRQ� ZLWK�81)3$��EURXJKW�WRJHWKHU�NH\�VWDII �IURP�QLQH� FRXQWULHV�WR�OHDUQ�IURP�HDFK�RWKHU·V�VXFFHVVHV�DQG� FKDOOHQJHV��7KH\�XVHG�WKH�UHJLRQDO�UHVHDUFK�ÀQGLQJV� WR�WKLQN�VWUDWHJLFDOO\�DERXW�KRZ�WR�IXUWKHU�LPSURYH� SURFXUHPHQW�LQ�HDFK�RI �WKHLU�FRXQWULHV��7KHQ��WKRVH� A Bolivian technical advisor visits Nicaragua to share her supply chain management expertise and explore ways the two countries can learn from one another to strengthen contraceptive security.
