Slide 4


In order to place the needs of the client at the center of family planning service delivery, providers need to see client-provider interactions through the eyes of the client.

Client-provider interactions begin when a client comes into contact with a service delivery system and they continue throughout the client’s contacts with the system. All of these contacts will affect the client’s experience.

The first interaction the client has with the service delivery system may be with a facility that is hard to reach, a long waiting line, or information about services. These types of exposure to services will affect the client’s feelings and views about family planning even though they do not involve direct interactions with a person working in the service delivery system.

In this presentation, we will focus on direct interactions between clients and people working in the service delivery system.
