About The Project
The Project on Repositioning Family Planning in Primary Health Centers in Karnataka through Public Private Partnership is a unique project being implemented in six districts of Karnataka by Karuna Trust, a local NGO. With the objectives of delaying the first pregnancy, promoting spacing between pregnancies among eligible couples, and improving the quality of RCH and primary health care programmes through accreditation and continuous review and monitoring mechanisms, the project has been implemented for three years (2012–2014). IIHMR Bangalore has done the endline evaluation of this project. The overall objective of the end-of-project evaluation was to undertake an impartial assessment of how far the project has progressed in reaching its goals and objectives.
