1. Increasing the supply of female condoms to meet the demand, monitoring the uptake of female condoms, and developing a long-term female condom distribution plan in all provinces;
2. Expanding the range of female condoms made available;
3. Promoting the use of female condoms, especially among young women;
4. Advocating for a reduction in the cost of female condoms.
