Since 1998, we鈥檝e been working to improve the health of Beninese women, men and children.
- Group antenatal care (G-ANC) was introduced in Benin in 20 health facilities in Atlantique Department, and more than 1,085 pregnant women participated in at least one G-ANC meeting in the first eight months of implementation (April to December 2021).
- To broaden access to DMPA-SC, an injectable contraceptive known as Sayana Press庐, 91社区 collaborated with the Ministry of Health, USAID and other partners to develop a scale-up plan validated by the Ministry and now in effect. The plan integrates high-impact approaches such as self-injection, delegation of tasks, service integration and distribution of DMPA-SC via new channels such as private clinics and pharmacies.

Access Collaborative 3.0
Under this two-year project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, 91社区 is providing continuous technical assistance in the introduction and scale-up of subcutaneous depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) in Benin, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Togo. Also known as Sayana庐 Press, DMPA-SC is an innovative injectable contraceptive that can be self-injected and has the potential to dramatically expand family planning access and choice when offered as part of a broad method mix. In addition to seeking to make DMPA-SC, including self-injection, more available in the three countries, the project aims to ensure provision of technical assistance, knowledge sharing, data tools, research findings and other resources to enable more than 30 countries to introduce and scale up DMPA-SC and self-injection.
