Vaccination rates have nose-dived since their peak of 80 percent coverage in 1995. Life expectancy is 52 years, with half of the population under 18 years old. Despite some recent progress in improving the reproductive health status of its population, Senegal still needs to improve the overall primary health care infrastructure and service delivery system in which reproductive health services are offered. The program's aim is to increase the sustained demand for quality Reproductive Health services and to increase the accessibility of RH services by increasing financing for RH services from Senegalese sources. The project duration is July 2000 - May 2005.
