EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Agir Pour la Planification Familiale (AgirPF) Project was awarded as a Cooperative Agreement by the USAID/West Africa Regional Health Office to EngenderHealth on July 5, 2013 and was launched in January 2014 in Togo, Burkina Faso and Niger. The purpose of AgirPF Project is to increase access to and use of quality family planning (FP) services in select urban and peri-urban areas of five francophone West African countries: Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire (starting in Year 3), Mauritania, Niger, and Togo. The Project works closely with Ministries of Health (MOHs) and other local partners to support the national action plans for strengthening FP that followed the February 2011 Francophone West Africa Regional Conference on Population, Development, and Family Planning in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The technical approach of AgirPF includes: (i) improving FP service quality; (ii) bringing FP services to underserved communities; (iii) educating and empowering clients and grassroots advocates; (iv) reducing financial barriers; and (v) solving logistics issues and estimating commodity needs. To achieve its strategic objective, AgirPF aims to achieve three results and six sub-results: . Result 1: Delivery of quality FP information, products, and services strengthened and expanded. o Sub-result 1.1: Partners strengthened to implement evidence-based approaches and deliver quality FP services. o Sub-result 1.2: Local leaders, civil society, service providers, municipal government support and promote FP. Result 2: Evidence-based service delivery approaches selected, adapted, and implemented. o Sub-result 2.1: Efficiency and effectiveness enhanced through adaptation and implementation. o Sub-result 2.2: Lessons documented and disseminated from adaptation and implementation. Result 3: Efforts to remove policy barriers and improve contraceptive commodity security coordinated. o Sub-result 3.1: Policy barriers identified and new/revised policies adopted and implemented. o Sub-result 3.2: Contraceptive commodity needs identified and coordinated among partners and country commodity security and logistics management committees. This report represents the fourth quarterly report (April-June 2014) for AgirPF. Key accomplishments during this quarter include: 1. Providing FP refresher training to 35 trainers in Burkina and Niger via Technical Start-up Orientation Workshops; 2. The elaboration of three Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with the Ministry of Health in Burkina Faso, Niger and Togo; 3. The completion and signing of two important Professional services agreements (PSA) in Burkina and Togo enabling the baseline studies; 4. The development of Sub-grants with the IPPF Member Associations of Burkina (ABBEF) and Togo (ATBEF); 5. Conducting the Baseline study data collection in Togo and Burkina Faso; (vi) Coordinating efforts to Remove Policy Barriers and Improve Contraceptive Commodity Security; and Presentation of RAPID Togo to 103 high level officials and stakeholders, and development of RAPID Niger with 36 participants (12 women and 24 men) including representatives from the President and Prime Minister Offices, the National Parliament and Niger strategic Ministries. Page 5 of 41 AgirPF Quarterly Performance Report ● April to June 2014 During the reporting period, critical assumptions1 for achieving AgirPF results remained stable. II. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES COMPLETED/INITIATED UNDER EACH PROJECT OBJECTIVE/ COMPONENT Project activities continue to be implemented under the leadership of EngenderHealth in partnership with its core partner, Futures Institute2.

  • An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade
    High Trade Costs and Their Consequences: An Estimated Dynamic Model of African Agricultural Storage and Trade Obie Porteous Online Appendix A1 Data: Market Selection Table A1, which begins on the next page, includes two lists of markets by country and town population (in thousands). Population data is from the most recent available national censuses as reported in various online databases (e.g. citypopulation.de) and should be taken as approximate as census years vary by country. The \ideal" list starts with the 178 towns with a population of at least 100,000 that are at least 200 kilometers apart1 (plain font). When two towns of over 100,000 population are closer than 200 kilometers the larger is chosen. An additional 85 towns (italics) on this list are either located at important transport hubs (road junctions or ports) or are additional major towns in countries with high initial population-to-market ratios. The \actual" list is my final network of 230 markets. This includes 218 of the 263 markets on my ideal list for which I was able to obtain price data (plain font) as well as an additional 12 markets with price data which are located close to 12 of the missing markets and which I therefore use as substitutes (italics). Table A2, which follows table A1, shows the population-to-market ratios by country for the two sets of markets. In the ideal list of markets, only Nigeria and Ethiopia | the two most populous countries | have population-to-market ratios above 4 million. In the final network, the three countries with more than two missing markets (Angola, Cameroon, and Uganda) are the only ones besides Nigeria and Ethiopia that are significantly above this threshold.
