	About CHPS
		The Navrongo experiment tested means of addressing inequities in the health system through mobilization of both health sector and community resources.
		The implementation of community-based service delivery in the Kassena-Nankana district demonstrated the feasibility and usefulness of reorienting health care at the periphery, answering the fundamental question of whether health services can be moved out of the clinical setting and whether achieving this actually has an impact.
		The experiences and lessons of this project have therefore served to reinforce the Ministry's commitment towards community-based health service delivery, and the Ministry responded to the Navrongo results with a draft policy statement calling for the replication of this approach in other parts of the country.

		It is widely assumed that making family planning services available in community locations will lead to increased use of contraception and reduced fertility.
