The Association for Reproductive and Family Health (ARFH), has expanded its community based distribution services to over 400 communities across Katsina, Kebbi, Jigawa and Zamfara States.
A statement issued by the Expanded Social Marketing Project in Nigeria (ESMPIN) project manager, Aliyu Guraguri said the community based distribution of maternal and child health products was aimed at increasing access to affordable and quality family planning, malaria and diarrhoea prevention and treatment products to the communities in nine Local Government Areas of the affected states.
The ESMPIN is a five year project funded by the USAID with Society for family health, BBC media action and population service international, partnering to support the project goal of improving health of women and children.
The statement further said the association (ARFH), has the largest community based distribution network in Nigeria, with over 2000 community based volunteers creating demand and providing commodities at subsidized prices in various communities.
Since 2011, ARFH has conducted numerous capacity building trainings for community based distributors who conduct behaviour change communication and sale commodities to interested community members.
