| Project's description | 1/ Budget allocated to the production of promotional items 2/ Emergency contraception (NorLevo) was manufactured in France. The boxes have been locally dispatched between 4 NGO and the Family Planning Clinic (ie roughly 4,000 products per association) to be sold at a very low price to women with low income or without any income at all.(300 FCFA , price determined by the CMS). With the benefit of these sales the local associations can constitute a restocking budget in terms of emergency contraception. |
