INTRODUCTION The Sexual and Reproductive Health for All Initiative (SARAI) is a USAID-funded, five-year project whose goal is to increase the annual Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) by 2% in the supported sites. SARAI aims to achieve this goal by; i. Improving Family Planning (FP) service delivery; ii. Strengthening accountability of FP service delivery systems; and iii. Increasing healthy FP and Reproductive Health practices. The project which begun in April 2015 is being implemented in Copperbelt, Luapula and Muchinga provinces in 17 districts by SFH and its sub awardee, DAPP, ChildFund and PSI. SARAI is currently supporting 143 facilities. This report gives an account of the SARAI project activities conducted from 1st January to 31st March 2019 by SFH and its sub awardees. As per award agreement, this report focusses on the seven quarterly indicators as specified in the SARAI monitoring and evaluation plan related to facility based FP service provision, community based service provision and quality assurance. 2.
