- Summary:
- One promising approach to encouraging contraceptive acceptance and practice has been initiated by a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Thailand, the Population and Community Development Association (PDA). Community-level incentives, directed to the village as a unit and to individuals as isolates, are thought to put less direct pressure on the individual. In addition, the locus of power in such plans may be placed at the community level, as opposed to some higher administrative stratum far removed from the people the programme was meant to serve.
