In 2005 Population Services International launched the Ligne Verte toll-free family planning hotline in the Democratic Republic of Congo as part of its the family planning program. This pilot program provides confidential accurate family planning information and refers potential users to the Confiance network of family planning clinics and pharmacies. From 2005-2008 the Ligne Verte received greater than 80000 calls over 80% of which were from men. The hotline is an effective low-cost intervention that can be easily replicated in even the most challenging settings. It is particularly effective tool for reaching men.
