Codes and Frequencies
Description
For women who are not currently using a method of contraception, FPNONNGO indicates whether they reported, in response to an open-ended question, a non-governmental organization (NGO) in general as a source of family planning. The complementary variable FPNONNGOWKR indicates whether the woman specifically reported an NGO worker.
Some samples in the "FPNON" series include categories that can be consolidated into a single response. IPUMS-DHS uses supplemental programming to combine these responses in a standard variable while preserving the separate responses in country-specific variables.
For example, a given sample might include multiple categories for different types of NGO facilities that could be combined to create a more comprehensive response category. See Comparability for more information on the specific categories combined in this variable.

Comparability
The wording and organization of FPNONNGO varies slightly across samples. As a result, this variable is ultimately concerned with whether or not any NGO source was reported, not about the specific type of facility reported. Additionally, in some cases, multiple categories were consolidated to form a single, more comprehensive response. Countries of particular interest are noted below.
Comparability - Standard DHS
An open-ended question about where family planning can be obtained is included in Phase IV forward of the standard DHS questionnaire.
Although responses in this variable are country-specific and not included in the standard DHS modules, they are integrated in FPNONNGO to increase comparability across samples.
Comparability — Bangladesh [top]
In the 2007 Bangladesh survey, there are four separate categories for "NGO static clinic," "NGO satellite clinic," "NGO depot holder," and "other NGO." As this variable focuses on all NGO facilities, these four responses are consolidated in FPNONNGO to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
- NGO static clinic is listed as FPNONBD8 in IPUMS-DHS
- NGO satellite clinic is listed as FPNONBD9 in IPUMS-DHS
- NGO depot holder is listed as FPNONBD10 in IPUMS-DHS
- Other NGO is listed as FPNONBD11 in IPUMS-DHS
Additionally, in the 2011 Bangladesh survey, there are two separate categories for "NGO static clinic" and "NGO satellite clinic." These categories are consolidated in FPNONNGO and are also preserved in FPNONBD8 and FPNONBD9, respectively.
In the 2018 Bangladesh survey, there are five separate categories for "NGO static clinic," "NGO satellite clinic," "NGO depot holder," "other NGO," and NGO field worker." As this variable focuses on all NGO facilities, these five responses are consolidated in FPNONNGO to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
- NGO static clinic is listed as FPNONBD8 in IPUMS-DHS
- NGO satellite clinic is listed as FPNONBD9 in IPUMS-DHS
- NGO depot holder is listed as FPNONBD10 in IPUMS-DHS
- Other NGO is listed as FPNONBD11 in IPUMS-DHS
- NGO field worker is listed as FPNONNGOWKR in IPUMS-DHS
Additionally, in the 2018 Bangladesh survey, there are two separate categories for "NGO static clinic" and "NGO satellite clinic." These categories are consolidated in FPNONNGO and are also preserved in FPNONBD8 and FPNONBD9, respectively.
Comparability — Ethiopia [top]
In the 2005 and 2011 Ethiopian surveys, under an "NGO" header, there are two separate categories for "NGO health facility" and "other NGO." As this variable focuses on all NGO facilities, these two responses are consolidated in FPNONNGO to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
Comparability — Gambia [top]
In the 2013 Gambia survey, there are separate categories for different NGO sources. These responses are consolidated in FPNONNGO to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving the country-specific sources:
Comparability — India [top]
In the 2005 Indian survey, this response category is worded as "NGO or trust hospital/clinic."
Comparability — Jordan [top]
In the 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017 Jordan surveys, although there is not a designated "NGO" header, there are separate categories for different NGO sources.

For researchers interested in preserving these country-specific categories:
- UNRWA clinic is listed as FPNONJO6 in IPUMS-DHS (available for Jordan 2002, 2007, 2012, and 2017)

Comparability — Nepal [top]
In the 2001, 2006, and 2011 Nepal surveys, there are separate categories for different NGO sources. These responses are consolidated in FPNONNGO to create a more comprehensive response category. For researchers interested in preserving the country-specific sources:
- FPAN (Family Planning Association of Nepal) is listed as FPNONNP6 in IPUMS-DHS (available for Nepal 2001, 2006, and 2011)
- Marie Stopes International is listed as FPNONNP7 in IPUMS-DHS (available for Nepal 2001, 2006, and 2011)
