This manual provides a two-day curriculum demonstrating how to incorporate the female condom and dual protection into the program of already functioning community health workers. Using two family planning methods simultaneously enhances the degree of protection against both unintended pregnancy and STIs, therefore, this manual contains activities designed to introduce the female condom, provide strategies to bring about behavior change to ensure dual protection, and reintroduce the use of the male condom.
