This report provides an overview progress and findings from the first phase of the Connect Project which aims to develop approaches to increase first time mothersâ (FTMsâ) postpartum family planning (PPFP) use that can both be feasibly implemented by local and international organizations and, to the extent feasible, sustained by governments without project funding. This report focuses on results from Bangladesh, where Connect is known as Shongzog and âenhancesâ USAIDâs MaMoni Maternal and Newborn Care Strengthening Project (MNCSP) with light-touch, scalable approaches. We use âShongzogâ, which means âthe connectionâ to refer to Connectâs efforts in Bangladesh throughout this document.
