Conclusions
FP and the National Vision
Improving access to and use of
high-quality, affordable FP services:
… resulting in lower fertility and
a lower rate of population
growth…
… thereby contributing to
social and economic
development and
achievement of the national
vision
Photo by Wendy McNaughton
… will help satisfy unmet need…

Policy
Why and How to Act
Cost of Inaction Increases with Time
ISSUE
OPPORTUNITY
READINESS
There is high population growth, an unbalanced age
distribution, and high unmet need for family planning
46% of women already use family planning
Potential for increased use is large (25% unmet
need)
Political will is present
Service networks are established and developing
ACTIONS
Increase funding for family planning
Ensure the availability of family planning commodities
Expand access via community-based distribution and
public and private clinics
Improve information, education, and communication
around family planning
