Commercial Market Strategies: El Salvador assessment report.

The Commercial Market Strategies (CMS) project is a five-year contract being implemented under the Commercial and Private Sector Strategies (CAPS) Results Package of USAID’s Center for Population Health and Nutrition (G/PHN/POP). As the “flagship” project of CAPS CMS aims to increase the use of family planning and related health products and/or services through the private/commercial sectors. In order to fulfill its mandate CMS conducts technical assessments in selected countries to evaluate the current conditions and markets for family planning and related health care. Based on these conditions the assessments recommend appropriate program interventions for the selected country. This report provides a rapid assessment by CMS of private sector family planning and reproductive health service delivery in El Salvador. Its purpose is to provide ideas and a guiding framework for future international assistance in this area both from USAID and from other potential donors public and private. (excerpt)
