A descriptive cross sectional study design was used to a randomly selected 51 respondents of whom 26 were health providers and 25 were clients. The specific objectives were to determine magnitude of FP providers availability, to examine providers’ capacity in terms of training, skills, mentorship, experience, data generation and use for provision of FP services, to determine the magnitude of providers’ capacity for FP advocacy, to determine the degree of provider capacity in FP supply forecasting and to determine the level of provider capacity in meeting FP consumers’ choice. Findings revealed that, contraceptive uptake in Morogoro DC was 28% which was low compared to 37% of the region. Also, findings on availability of FP providers revealed that overall deficit of HCPs were 46.7% for dispensaries and 28.6% for health centers respectively. There was no statistically significant different between current contraceptive utilization and availability of health care providers with X2 Pr = 0.933>0.05 at 95% confident limit. Further findings on FP providers capacity revealed that lack of mentorship was at 66.6% for health centers and 100% for dispensaries and it was statistically significant with X2 Pr = 0.007 and correlation coefficient with P>|t| 0.006t 0.006 which is < 0.05 at 95% confident limit. Findings for FP/providers/clients decision making tool revealed that 92.31% of respondent reported that there was no tool available in their health facilities, statistically significant with X2 Pr 0.007 and correlation at P>t 0.006>0.05 at 95% confident limit.
