Commitment Makers In Sub-Saharan Africa
In the 2021 Measurement Report, we marked the transition from FP2020 to FP2030 with a broad overview of regional family planning data and trends in Africa, Asia & the Pacific, and Latin America & the Caribbean.
In this year’s report we take a narrower approach, focusing on only one region—sub-Saharan Africa—and the 15 countries in that region that finalized their FP2030 commitments by August 2022.
Six of the countries (Ethiopia, Madagascar, Mozambique, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda) are in East & Southern Africa, and nine (Benin, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, and Togo) are in West Africa.
The 15 country commitments share many common priorities
Key Takeaways
Lorem Ipsum
The 15 commitment-making sub-Saharan African countries all have large and growing adolescent and youth populations. As these populations enter their reproductive years, demand for family planning services will continue to rise.
Lorem Ipsum
More than 1 in 10 women of reproductive age are postpartum in any given year, and the majority (except in Rwanda) are not using modern family planning, despite the importance of birth spacing for the health of the mother and newborn.
Lorem Ipsum
Young married women aged 15–24 rely on short-acting contraceptive methods such as injections and pills and obtain their methods from government facilities.
Lorem Ipsum
Most unmarried sexually active women aged 15–24 rely on condoms and obtain their contraceptive methods from private health sources. There is some evidence to indicate an increase in the use of long-acting methods (such as implants) among unmarried sexually active women in West Africa.
Lorem Ipsum
In most of the countries, more than 1 in 5 sexually active young women (aged 15–24) have an unmet need for contraception.
We assess country commitments in adolescent and youth contraceptive use and postpartum family planning, aligning them with opportunities for better sexual and reproductive health outcomes.
