The Connect Project

Led by Save the Children in partnership with the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health, the Connect project uses a phased approach to leverage the reach of large-scale “host projects” in Bangladesh and Tanzania. Drawing from formative work, Connect designed “program enhancements”—additional activities layered onto the host projects’ existing facility- and community-level approaches to address key barriers to increase First-Time Parent’s (FTPs’) use of postpartum family planning in Bangladesh and Tanzania, and postnatal care in Bangladesh.
