Abstract: A recent technical brief synthesized evidence from a series of analyses conducted by Data for Impact (D4I) of family planning (FP) behaviors across the life course to provide evidence-based recommendations for FP policies in Bangladesh (Rahman et al. 2023a). That brief introduced the “Life Cycle Approach to Family Planning,” which is a person-centered approach that addresses different FP needs at each stage of the reproductive life cycle. Different points in the life cycle offer different opportunities to reach individuals with specific and tailored interventions. In this brief, we elaborate on some system considerations for the Directorate General of Family Planning (DGFP) and Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) to implement this approach.
