Honduras – Overview of Country Activities:

ASHONPLAFA and CEVIFA collaborated with the Institute to train both Ministry of Health (MOH) and NGO providers in the Standard Days Method (SDM). In addition, ASHONPLAFA incorporated the SDM into their institutional norms and their logistics and management information systems.

Since introducing the SDM, over 900 providers were trained and more than 2,000 new SDM users have been reported. USAID/Honduras included the SDM in their strategic plan for reproductive health, and CEVIFA assisted the MOH to include the SDM in its norms as well as in the curricula of national university nursing schools. CEVIFA, a faith-based organization, also provided training and training assistance to other NGOs such as Aldea Global, a small community-based organization, and several catholic churches.
