Alan Garcia was elected for a second term in 2006 and began addressing the decline in contraceptive use and availability; he created two programs: conditional cash transfers and social insurance programs. 

 

Conditional cash transfers provide women with 100 soles a month if they make healthy choice such as immunizing their children and seeking prenatal care.  These programs have been started in many of Peru’s poorest regions (14 as of the end of 2007).  Women who participate are also able to attend family-planning information sessions.

 

The social insurance program was started in March of 2007, and is meant to provide universal preventative care for Peru’s people.
