Integration and implementation
Experience from female condom programmes around the world has highlighted a number of factors that contribute to the successful and sustained integration of the female condom into existing reproductive health programmes. On-going multi sectoral collaboration with a broad range of stakeholders is essential to design and implement female condom programmes. Integrating the female condom into existing programmes and distribution systems is cost effective, practical and has a significant impact. A comprehensive introductory and outreach programme needs to be developed at the same time as plans for procurement of female condoms are initiated.
