The Injectables Access Collaborative Learning and Action Network hosted this webinar on February 28, 2024 highlighting task-sharing provision of injectable contraception—including DMPA-SC and self-injection—through support from community health workers (CHWs). At least 13 countries now authorize CHWs to support clients’ initiation of self-injection at the community level. Participants learned about the latest data on DMPA-SC provision and self-injection support by CHWs, heard from ministry of health representatives and CHWs themselves about the practice and potential of task-sharing of self-care services, and reflected on how to strengthen community health programs to improve equitable access to integrated primary health care services, including an expanded range of family planning options.
