Figure 3.2.2 A health committee member advocating for CHPS at a durbar. Advocacy for Health There is therefore the need to address the concerns and fears of community members about family planning. We can do this by giving them adequate information and emphasising the numerous advantages of family planning. Here we need to be careful not to use deceit, coercion or inducement to get people to practise family planning. Exercise 3.2.4 Objective 1. To discuss the advantages and challenges of family planning Time: 30 minutes Questions 1. What are the advantages of family planning 2. What are the challenges to family planning adoption? 3. How will you use this information to advocate for family planning? Instructions to the Facilitator 1. Guide participants to brainstorm the advantages of family planning and the challenges to family planning promotion 2. Ask them how they can use the information to advocate for family planning. The following exercise (Exercise 3.2.5) is to help us know the bounds of our efforts in promoting family planning. There are actions that are encouraged and there are those that are forbidden. 163
Module 3 The Work of the Health Committee 164 Exercise 3.2.5: Discussion Objective 1. To discuss the Do’s and Don’ts in family planning promotion Time: 10 Minutes Question 1. As in Box 3.2.2 Box 3.2.2: Promoting family planning – Do’s and Don’ts • • • • • • • • • Instructions to the Facilitator 1. Choose a participant to read out loud the statements in Box 3.2.2 2. Let them say which ones volunteers are allowed to do - the Do’s and those they are not allowed to do – the Don’ts. Promote only one or two methods Give all necessary information about all family planning services Give people incentives to do family planning Force people to adopt family planning Always display the family planning chart for clients to see You should set targets for fellow volunteers to recruit family planning users Promote only methods that your spouse uses Allay the fears of clients Do not tell potential clients about possible side effects. Community members will respect you when you are able to guide them to improve their lives. Family planning is a health and development issue. It is not about limiting child birth. Getting community members to see the need to practise family planning is an important advocacy issue that has to be seriously taken up. Topic 4 Advocacy for resource mobilisation There are specific things that are needed for a community based health care system to work. The VHC must know these so as to be able to play their role very well in looking for the resources that are needed to provide them. Resources for community health CHPS is a partnership between the health system and the community. Each of these partners has a specific role to play for health delivery to go on. The health system provides trained health staff, medicines and other service delivery equipment. What does the community contribute? Remember, one of the most important resources a community has are the people themselves! The following exercise will help clarify the community’s contribution.
