FRONTIERS PROJECT
Testing a Community-based Distribution (CBD) Approach to
Reproductive Health Service Delivery in Senegal
Working with the Ministry of Health (MOH), FRONTIERS compared three service models—one clinic-based and two CBD models—and their effects on women’s knowledge and use of reproductive health services. The study found that training existing community health workers in Senegal to be community-based distribution (CBD) agents of reproductive health services is an acceptable and less expensive way to expand access to reproductive health services to rural populations than introducing a new cadre of mobile community-based workers.
