    Abstract:
    A workshop was held on 28 September 1994 at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) to share the lessons learned on door step delivery of injectable contraceptives in eight rural thanas in Bangladesh. The workshop was organized jointly by the Directorate of Family Planning, Government of Bangladesh (GOB) and the maternal-child health-family planning (MCH-FP) Extension Project (Rural) of ICDDR,B. A total of 150 participants from the Centre, the national family planning program, different NGOs, and donor agencies attended the workshop. The Minister for Health and Family Welfare, GOB, inaugurated the function as the chief guest. The director of the MCH-FP Extension Project (Rural) welcomed the guests. The Secretary of the Ministry thanked the Centre for its role in the national family planning program, and reiterated that the extension project is a collaborative project of the GOB and the Centre. The Minister emphasized that the population boom is a major problem of the nation. He thanked the Centre for helping the government in seeking solutions to this problem. The UNFPA Country Director expressed his happiness about the implementation and progress of the injectable contraceptive project. David Piet of USAID recommended that equal attention be given to all family planning methods, and not just to injectables. Also, he emphasized the quality of care and the sustainability of the method. The Director General of the Directorate of Family Planning thanked the implementors of this program at different levels for their contribution, and expressed his satisfaction over the activities of the project. The director of the Centre said that the Centre was proud to be involved in this project with the Bangladesh government. He thanked the donor agencies for supporting the Centre in providing family planning services to the nation.
