The executive director of FP2030, Samukeliso Dube, however, noted that donor government funding for family planning is not keeping up with the growing demand for modern contraception.
Despite the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on national health systems and global supply chains, many people globally continue to demand and use family planning products and services.on Family Planning released on Wednesday by FP2030, a global initiative.
Findings from the report further show that one in three women of reproductive age in LMIC is choosing to use modern contraception. She, however, said despite these challenges, women globally have continued to seek out and use modern contraception in ever-growing numbers. She said family planning is about expanding the ability and freedom of individuals to exercise power in their own line.The new report analysed the use of contraceptives in 15 African countries; Benin, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Guinea, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria,It shows that contraceptive use among married and unmarried sexually active women aged 15-24 is generally higher in Eastern and Southern Africa than in West Africa.
Mr Bremner said if rising demand is not met by high-quality services, consistent contraceptive supplies, and supportive policies and financing, it will be a missed opportunity for millions of women.“Young married women aged 15-24 were found to rely on short-acting methods such as injections and pills and obtain these from government facilities, while most unmarried sexually active women aged 15-24 rely on condoms and obtain these from private health sources,” he added.
