Happy Women’s Month! USAID works with the Bangsamoro region’s Ministry of Social Services and Development (MSSD) to incorporate family planning (FP) in the 4Ps (Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program) Family Development Session (FDS). Through a joint initiative with the 4Ps, USAID trained parent leaders to conduct the FDS on FP among 4Ps families, to encourage couples and women to access FP services and avail themselves of the most appropriate FP methods of their choice.
