The Community-operated Reproductive Health Project (CORHP) is a family planning program in rural Dhaka, Bangladesh. Contrary to focusing on fertility rates, a characteristic of the household contraceptives delivery and family planning advice characteristic of previous family planning programs in Bangladesh, CORHP is a site-based project that emphasizes the comprehensive, rights-based approach rather than fertility reduction. The paper evaluates the effectiveness of CORHP in improving reproductive health. The regression results show that CORHP is more effective in delivering services pertaining to reproductive health, but less so in building awareness. The results also suggest that facilities such as CORHP are adequate substitutes for the household delivery system. |
