SDM Service
Implementation Guidelines
The SDM Implementation Guidelines for Program
Personnel were designed to help program personnel
plan for and integrate the Standard Days Method®
(SDM) into their services. Available as a downloadable
file (344k PDF document) or an online
handbook, it includes information about:
- Establishing Norms and Guidelines
- Training Providers
- Counseling Clients
- IEC and informed choice
- Assuring Quality of Services
- Procurement and Logistics for CycleBeads
- Other Service Delivery Issues
These guidelines are based on the experience
of more than 20 international and local organizations
that successfully introduced the method into their
countries’ family planning programs. The
SDM has been introduced into diverse programmatic
settings, including clinic- and community-based
programs, ministries of health, NGOs providing
family planning services, as well as community
development organizations. The method is being
used by women and men with a wide variety of religious,
cultural, educational, and socio-economic backgrounds.
