A major goal of community-based contraceptive delivery systems is to increase contracep
tive prevalence among eligible women. This goal may be accomplished b y either recruiting
more acceptors, increasing the duration of contraceptive use, or some combination of
both. After a brief discussion of Indonesia's family planning program, evidence is pro
vided that its village-based system is more successful than its clinic-based system in stimu
lating women to use contraception longer. The case is especially true when comparing the
effects of contraceptive resupply in the village versus that in the clinic. Furthermore, the
advantage of the village becomes stronger after instituting controls for other factors which
could influence contraceptive motivation.
