Number/Percent of community health workers reporting a stock-out of injectables Number/Percent of community health workers reporting a stock-out of injectables Definition: Number of community health workers (CHWs) within the authorized cadre who reported having an inadequate supply of injectable contraception. As a percent, this indicator is calculated as: (Number of CHWs reporting a stock-out of injectable contraception / Number of CHWs certified in providing injectable contraception who have given an injection in the last quarter) x 100 Data Requirement(s): Verification of stockout of injectable contraception Programs may wish to further disaggregate by other needed materials such as alcohol swabs or bandages. Data Source(s): CHW reports Purpose: Just as programs need to ensure that enough CHWs are available, the workers must also have sufficient stocks of injectables to meet demand. Ideally, stock-outs should be rare or nonexistent, and any reports of regular stock-outs should be investigated immediately. Keywords: commodity, community, family planning References: FHI 360.
