Earlier this week at 2025, Violet Oramisi, Regional Strategic Information Advisor for ICAP’s CQUIN and HIVE projects, shared insights on how differentiated service delivery (DSD) can strengthen family planning access across countries.

Her presentation, “The Potential Efficiencies of DSD for Family Planning,” highlighted:
- The high unmet need for family planning
- How DSD building blocks can be adapted for FP services
- Opportunities to integrate FP with ART delivery
- Efficiency gains from self-injectable contraception

The session was part of the IAS satellite “The Future of Differentiated HIV Services,” under the theme Making care easier and more efficient.

We are proud to see Violet contributing evidence and practical solutions for more integrated, client-centered HIV and reproductive health services.
