This brief discusses how integrating community health worker programs into the health system can help increase access to family planning by bringing information, services, and supplies to women and men in the communities where they live and work, rather than requiring them to visit health facilities. CHWs address geographic, financial, and social barriers in regards to family planning services, which improves the health in communities in which CHWs serve. This brief makes recommendations for how to integrate CHWs into the Health System in regards to family planning.
