FRONTIERS PROJECT
New Approaches to Integrating Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), HIV/AIDS, Family Planning, and Reproductive Health in Bazèga, Burkina Faso

FRONTIERS collaborated with the Ministry of Health, local nongovernmental organization Mwangaza Action, and the Center for Research and Teaching on Demography, University of Ouagadougou (UERD) to investigate ways to integrate the diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS, into family planning programs in the Bazèga region. Assessment reports identified significant shortfalls in coverage and quality of care. A World Bank loan to the government of Burkina Faso supported further program development.
