------------------------------------------ The Basic Delivery Kit Guide was produced with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the United States Agency for Interna- tional Development (USAID) under the HealthTech: Technologies for Health Project. The Guide explores the role of delivery kits in in- creasing the awareness and use of clean delivery practices by un- trained and trained birth attendants as well as women delivering alone. In addition, the guide emphasizes the importance of integrat- ing clean delivery programs with tetanus immunization programs in a combined effort to reduce maternal and neonatal tetanus and sepsis. The guide includes sections on Deciding Whether to Develop a Basic Delivery Kit Program, Designing a Basic Delivery Kit Program, Assem- bly, Distribution and Promotion, Sustaining and Evaluating Basic De- livery Kit Programs, and Program Recommendations. Each section con- tains detailed work tools for planning and conducting the activities necessary at each stage of delivery kit program development, as well as relevant case studies from the field. The guide also includes in- formation on how to procure UNFPA kits. A limited number of copies are available free-of-charge, and multiple copies may be ordered from PATH at US$ 15 each.
