The project—a partnership between Bhekisisa and the nonprofit Triad Trust—has been able to map services in 6 of the country’s 9 provinces.

Bhekisisa has partnered with the HIV non-profit TRIAD Trust and the Hivos Southern Africa Fund to compile a reliable database of family planning services in South Africa.
