DISTRIBUTION MODEL INNOVATION
Society for Impact Health Initiative (SIHI) is a non-profit company working to meet the unmeet need for contraceptives for underserved populations by scaling up distribution of self-injectable contraceptives in rural Zambia.
The SIHI model uses an evidence-based approach and targets trained community-based distributors in injectable contraceptives to distribute self-injecetable contraceptives and train women on self-injection within their community. The pilot will launch in Mpika district of Muchinga province in Zambia before scaling nationwide.
