Burkina Faso: In-depth analysis of family planning task sharing and self-care policies, and alignment with WHO guidelines

26 Aug Burkina Faso: In-depth analysis of family planning task sharing and self-care policies, and alignment with WHO guidelines

Posted at 26 Aug 2021 in Burkina Faso, Family planning, Reports, Resources, Task Sharing (1.9) by

In May 2020, HRH2030 published a technical report, National Family Planning Guidelines in 10 Countries: How they align with current evidence and WHO recommendations on task sharing and self-care. The report, phase one of the task sharing research, explored the extent to which 10 countries, including Burkina Faso, have adopted policies, service delivery guidelines, or other government documents in line with WHO guidelines on task sharing the provision of family planning methods to mid- and lower-level cadres, and promotion of self-care.

In phase two, HRH2030 conducted a detailed case study of Burkina Faso, to examine what other policies support or hamper the implementation of the family planning guidelines relating to task sharing and self-care; and the current status of implementation of task sharing and self-care. Among the findings: The Burkina Faso Ministry of Health (MOH) developed a national task sharing policy that was validated in July and further revised in 2020 with a strategic plan for scaling up task sharing.

This report presents an in-depth analysis of Burkina Faso’s policies, regulations, and guidelines, based on an extensive document review followed by key informant interviews. The findings are organized by select family planning methods, including voluntary surgical contraception, implants, injectables, and pills. The report also includes a section describing COVID-19’s effect on tasking sharing and self-care policies. The authors recommend policy and regulatory revisions and actions to further improve the country’s family planning and regulatory environment and scale implementation of the WHO guidelines and note that the Burkina Faso experience may serve as evidence when the WHO next updates its task sharing guidance.

Below, the report is available for download in English and French. A slide deck is available for download in French.
