Abstract
Under the Women’s Health Project, PSI/Nepal has more than 400 trained voluntary non-medical community mobilizers (also known as Didi in local community) in 50 districts of Nepal. They conduct household level interpersonal communication sessions on family planning (FP). According to Nepal Demographic and Health Survey 2011, 43% of married women use any modern contraceptive method and 1.3% use an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD). In order to achieve PSI/Nepal’s goal to generate demand for underutilized methods such as IUCDs through household visits, it is important to keep Didis motivated.
