Abstract	This report assembles survey results conducted between March and June of 2008 to identify document and share information on the status of postpartum care services implemented through USAID and our partners. The survey results indicate a number of opportunities to integrate postpartum family planning with many programs. A total of 37 projects in sub-Saharan Africa responded to the survey; most were working in family planning HIV/AIDS child survival/child health and maternal and newborn health. Training service delivery behavior change communication and community approaches were the main intervention areas of the projects surveyed. Since most of the projects work with women of reproductive age and children under five years there are opportunities to integrate postpartum family planning (PPFP) with routine immunization well-child and sick-child visits. Opportunities to include postpartum family planning (PPFP) in trainings also exist in a number of the projects. Survey results indicated that there are a number of opportunities to integrate postpartum family planning (PPFP) with many programs. Recommendations include: 1) Utilize community-based volunteers in PPFP interventions; 2) Emphasize the Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM) as a transition method; and 3) Advocate for policies that effectively promote PPFP.
