West Africa Breakthrough ACTION Experiences

Breakthrough ACTION leverages social and behavior change (SBC) approaches to increase modern family planning (FP) access and informed, voluntary use in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Niger, and Togo. This technical brief, available in English and French, shares promising, proven, or innovative program approaches that can yield FP results in the West Africa region by providing a deep dive into three distinct activities:

• Community dialogues and facility site walkthroughs, a multi-sectoral and community engagement approach to improve FP service quality via community-driven solutions.
• FP provider behavior change tools to respond to regional and country-specific challenges identified to offer quality FP services.
• The Confiance Totale (Total Confidence) radio campaign, which fostered trust in FP services and methods during the COVID-19 pandemic.
