Senegal’s 2012-2015 National Family Planning Action Plan (2012-2015 NFPAP) is based on the 3D approach (Democratization, Demedicalization, and Decentralization). As the 2012-2015 NFPAP came to an end and a new plan was being developed, the Evidence Project/Population Council conducted a study to document the implementation and achievements of the 3D approach in relation to the NFPAP.
The study documents the 3D approach in relation to the NFPAP using a desk review and qualitative research. It describes lessons learned from the implementation of the approach, and shares good practices that can be adopted by other countries, particularly those of the Ouagadougou Partnership. Finally, the study provides evidence for decision-making, especially for the elaboration of the next NFPAP.
