One of the biggest obstacles in training service providers in LAFP methods is a lack of clients during practicum sessions. Service Delivery-Based Training for Long-Acting Family Planning Methods: Pathfinder International in Ethiopia describes Pathfinder’s unique method of recruiting potential LAFP clients through community health workers and mobilizing them to attend training sessions. Through this method, Pathfinder has been able to provide 47,637 clients with IUCDs and implants and trained 1,1,58 providers in these methods.
