16. Mixing CSD and Pop Funds Cannot use child survival funds for purchase of contraceptives. However, can use HIV/AIDS funds to purchase condoms for HIV/AIDS programs. Cannot use CSD Funds to make up for shortfalls in Population Funding or in any other program. Can mix CSD and Pop Funds in a single program, but Must Ensure that the balance of funds matches appropriate kinds of activities.

17. Mixing CSD and Pop Funds Can use child survival funds for birth spacing - where spacing efforts part of a predominantly child survival program and part of objective to reduce infant/child mortality. Can use CSD/CSMH funds for maternal health interventions, including maternal survival. Can use DA/Pop funding for reproductive health interventions related to maternal health within context of larger FP program. Can use either DA/Pop or CSD/CSMH funding for breastfeeding programs.

18.
