About this publication
Overview
The Family Planning Voucher Scheme links social protection with reproductive health services to reduce financial, mobility, and access barriers for poor women. Designed and evaluated by the Population Council with BISP and the Punjab Population Innovation Fund, the model enabled eligible women to obtain services from accredited public and private providers using a digital voucher system. Evaluation results showed increased contraceptive use, reduced unmet need, and strong potential for province-wide scale-up.
