TAHSEEN SIHITNA BI TANZEEM USRITNA (TAHSEEN) is a seven-year USAID-funded population project, which was approved by the Government of Egypt on October 1, 2002, and is scheduled to end in 2009. Its goal is to provide the assistance needed to solidify three decades' worth of USAID's family planning/reproductive health investments, leave a sustainable RH/FP program that provides quality services to all who want and need them and help Egypt take its final steps in reaching replacement level fertility by 2015. To achieve this goal, the project will have to address and resolve four challenges, which remain despite the enormous progress of the last 20 plus years:
Create sustainable shares for all sectors--public, commercial and NGO--in the provision of FP/RH services. The public sector's share is currently rising, but it is highly unlikely that it alone can provide the bulk of such services over the long term, especially in the absence of substantial donor support.
