aspects of family planning with the national maternal and child<br />

health program through a series of strategies and activities.<br />

In discussions with the Director General of the MOPH it was<br />

agreed that the principal areas of concentration that would lead<br />

to an explicit family planning policy included activities in:<br />

1. Law and Policy<br />

2. Training<br />

3. Demographic Data Collection and Analysis<br />

4. Information, Education and Communication<br />

5. Contraceptive Procurement<br />

6. Chadian Family Planning Association<br />

7. First International Family Planning Conference<br />

It was fortunate that during the two years that the Population<br />

Advisor spent in Chad there were additional resources through the<br />

Sahel Population Initiatives Project and through centrally-funded<br />

projects. By tapping into these resources the Population Advisor<br />

maximized available funding that would support each of the abovementioned<br />

activities. During the two years she brought over one<br />

million dollars worth of project activities into Chad, while<br />

providing 250 Chadians with short-term training in the various<br />

aspects of family planning.
