| Starting date | |
| Project's description | HRA donates 10,000 boxes per country. The family planning clinics are dealing with the local production of the drugs that will be sold at a third of the private price (namely 900 FCFA vs 3600 FCFA at the chemist's). Thanks to the sales, the family planning clinics can amass a supplying budget of Norlevo. |
| Number of units donated | 50,000 units |
| Current situation | Successful project in 5 countries : Morocco has been replaced by Mali where the local health authorities have refused to make emergency contraception available to Moroccan women. The IPPF affiliates are gradually restocking drugs through HRA at reasonable prices. |
