Background
The Innovations in Family Planning Services (IFPS) project is implemented through a bilateral agreement between the Government of India (GOI) and the U.S. Government. The project was originally designed in 1992 to assist GOI in revitalizing family planning services in Uttar Pradesh (UP). IFPS I (1992-Sept 2004) efforts were concentrated in UP, with operations beginning in Uttarakhand towards the end of IFPS I. This was followed by IFPS II (Oct 2004-Sept 2008) with geographic expansion from UP to include Uttarakhand and Jharkhand. IFPS II focused primarily on demonstration of public private partnership (PPP) models which would complement NRHM implementation in the three states. Additionally, the project also provided important assistance to the states during the start up of NRHM.
