E&R Study #11 Engaging Communities as Partners in Postabortion Care: A Desk Review of the Community Postabortion Care Project in Nakuru, Kenya
This desk review documents the ACQUIRE Project’s efforts in community engagement and mobilization for postabortion care (PAC) in Kenya. The Kenya COMMPAC Project was a replication of the Bolivia PAC Community Mobilization Program (C-PAC), which was implemented by CATALYST and Socios para el Desarrollo/PROSALUD (2004–2007). Both the Bolivia and Kenya projects are important efforts funded by USAID to put the community PAC component into practice, and empower the community to mobilize itself to reduce maternal morbidity and mortality due to complications resulting from miscarriage and incomplete abortion.

Assessment of the Bolivia Postabortion Care Community Mobilization Program
This assessment looks at  the Community Mobilization PAC (C-PAC) program that was implemented in Bolivia from 2004 to 2007.The overriding goal of the Bolivia C-PAC Program was to empower the community to mobilize itself and thus help reduce maternal morbidity and mortality cause by complications of incomplete abortion (both spontaneous and induced). This assessment evaluates the C-PAC Project carried out by CATALYST and Socios para el Desarrollo in Bolivia. It is meant to provide information to interested parties in Bolivia and to key stakeholders in the USAID global PAC program, and to provide a knowledge base for replicating the program and scaling up investments in similar programs worldwide.
