- ASF/PSI launched a toll free hotline called ‘Ligne Verte’
in the DRC in 2005 to increase the use of modern
contraceptive methods among women of reproductive age
and their partners in Kinshasa and mostly urban areas.
PSI’s Family Planning Project (FPP) makes the hotline
possible through cell phone technology. Please find more
information about the ‘Ligne Verte’ here:
