Consultant Management CAFS has developed a consultant database to assist us and partner agencies involved in reproductive health in sub-Saharan Africa to identify consultants for various assignments. Our consultants undergo training to understand the CAFS standards of practice and teamwork philosophy. The CAFS team reflects strong field experience and a profound knowledge of the African social and cultural environment, and deep commitment to the CAFS mandate.
