The Senegalese government depends on ASBEF for much of the nation’s service delivery and for guidance on policy. ASBEF provides family planning, antenatal and post-natal care, prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV and AIDS, screening, post-abortion care and infertility diagnosis and counselling.  The team consists of full-time staff,  volunteers, and peer educators, and the operation works through service points, including static clinics, and outreach programmes (with a particular emphasis on counselling in the workplace)."
