ESD's Mission

At least 200 million women around the world want to delay, space, or limit childbearing, but are unable to do so because they lack knowledge of and access to reproductive health and family planning (RH/FP) services.

Funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Extending Service Delivery (ESD) Project works to make these services accessible to the underserved populations of the world.
