FRONTIERS PROJECT
Dissemination of Results on Postabortion Care (PAC) Initiative for Francophone Africa

FRONTIERS and its partners played a leading role in introducing PAC services in Francophone Africa, and operations research (OR) provided critical evidence in this process. The project made OR case studies available as examples for countries interested in using research findings to develop national PAC services. A regional conference on PAC programs enabled professionals from different countries to share experiences and create action plans for expanding PAC services.
