Naripokkho and Asian-Pacific Resource and Research Centre for Women (ARROW) together conducted a qualitative research to get a better understanding of government‟s commitment on ICPD goals to: Provide universal access to a full range of safe and reliable family planning methods and related reproductive health services from grass root level. The study tried to find the level of effective implementation of long term FP methods at community level, women‟s perception of this service and the gaps and challenges that need to be resolved. This report presents findings from a qualitative study to assess the postpartum family planning services in one community clinic, one Upazila Health Complex (UHC) and one district hospital from Barguna District of Barishal Division. This document also presents a literature review in the country‟s context of reproductive health, policies and programmes that incorporated the ICPD‟s goal to ensure universal access to reproductive health.
