A cross-sectional study design that employed the Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) method of quantitative data collection and analysis was used. The objective of the survey was to generate reliable and regular information on the penetration as well as coverage of its FP and SRH products in private pharmaceutical and clinical outlets in market towns and private pharmaceutical outlets in big towns of Ethiopia. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire which was first developed in English, translated into Amharic, and later, pretested in selected areas in Addis Ababa, and its surroundings were used to gather data. The data entry was carried out using a data entry template that was prepared with CSPro software. After that, the refined data was exported to SPSS. 

Broadly speaking, this MAP survey found that:

1. About 91% of pharmaceutical and clinical outlets in market towns carry three or more product categories, and 71.2% of pharmaceutical outlets in big towns carry five or more product categories. About seventy-two percent, 79.7%, & 54.2%, & 3.7% of market towns and big town kebeles meet the coverage standard for condoms, OCP, injectables, and lubricants respectively. Forty-one percent,40.8%, 39.7%, 18.4%, and 0.5% of market towns and big town kebeles meet the quality of coverage standard for a condom, OCP injectable, and lubricant respectively.
2. The stock out of post-pill and long-acting family planning methods and other maternal health products in the last three months before the survey in pharmaceutical was 29.6% & less than 1% respectively. In clinical outlets of market towns, stock out of ORS/Lemlem plus, post-pill was 24.3% and 23.8% respectively. Generally, less than 3% of the clinical outlets in market towns reported stock out of the implant, IUCD, and other maternal health products including Mari Safe, Safe T Kit, misoprostol, and MVA. Generally, it was observed that perceived shortage of stock, supply problems, high demand, and selling out were the reasons for stock out of maternal health products including Safe T Kit, MVA, and trust implant, members-only, Mari Safe, Long Act and I plan.
3. 42.8% of outlets in market towns have a staff that has been trained by DKT Ethiopia, and in big towns, nearly 44% of the outlets have staff trained by DKT Ethiopia. Training on IUCD was found to have the lowest coverage (7.0%) in big town outlets across all regions.  Any method of family planning service was provided in 93.3 % of the clinical outlets in market towns of which 99.7% provide any short-term family planning services. Only 16.6% of the clinical outlets in market towns provide long-term FP services. Shortage of supply, lack of knowledge/skill to provide the service, and low demand of service were the reasons for not providing long-term FP method services. About 85.8% of the clinical outlets reported that they are willing to provide or continue providing long-term FP services.

The third round MAP survey was conducted in order to monitor progress in increasing penetration as well as coverage of its FP and SRH products in private pharmaceutical and clinical outlets in market towns and private pharmaceutical outlets in all the nine regional states of Ethiopia as well as Dire Dawa and Addis Ababa city administrations. A cross-sectional study design that employed the Lot Quality Assurance Sampling (LQAS) method of quantitative data collection and analysis was used. The study covered a total of 165 kebeles in big towns, and 215 market towns were covered. In that regard, a total of 1758 outlets of which 1339 pharmaceuticals and 419 clinical were audited in this MAP survey. As a data collection tool, a structured questionnaire was first developed in English and was translated into Amharic.  After that, it was pretested in the selected areas of Addis Ababa and the surroundings. The data entry was carried out using a data entry template that was prepared with CSPro software. After that, the refined data was then exported to SPSS, and data analysis was carried out using SPSS version 20 software.

The whole data set provides information on the penetration rate of DKT Ethiopia products, level of coverage standard for condoms, OCP, injectables, and lubricants. In addition to that, the quality of the coverage of condoms, OCP, injectables, and lubricants were also assessed.  This data set also provides information about stock out the level of post-pill, ORS/Lemlem plus long-acting family planning methods, and other maternal health products including Mari Safe, Safe T Kit, misoprostol, and MVA in the last three months before the survey in the pharmaceutical and clinical outlets. Reason for stock out for products, a training provider for outlet market staff regarding DKT products, type of method of family planning service, the reason for not providing long term FP method services, the willingness to provide or continue providing long term FP services were also assessed.
