Dynamics of care and sector use between birth, contraception and sick child services
Governments in low- and middle-income countries increasingly recognize their role as stewards of mixed health systems comprising both public and private actors, but policy often lacks a nuanced understanding of how individuals switch between these two sectors for their healthcare needs, especially for family planning (FP) and maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH). In this cross-sectional study, we used data collected by The Demographic and He…
Contraception to women’s economic empowerment
The pathway linking contraceptive access and use to women's economic empowerment is explored in this narrative review. Contraception can have a direct effect on women's economic empowerment through supporting bodily autonomy, but the main way in which the pathway links is through fertility. Contraception impacts the timing, spacing, and number of births, and these elements of fertility each impact the process of women's economic empowerment. Thes…
Capturing Emergency Contraceptive Pill Use
Emergency contraceptive pills (ECP) are an essential and unique postcoital method of preventing pregnancy. Trends in supply data show that sales of ECP are increasing at faster rates globally than many other contraceptives. Yet nationally representative survey data suggest that ECP use has remained relatively static overtime, suggesting significant measure and reporting issues. Accurate measurement of ECP use is critical for informing policies an…
Walk the Talk
The 1994 International Conference on Population and Development transformed the family planning (FP) field. Yet, three decades later, global FP monitoring remains anchored in the same core indicators: contraceptive use, unmet need, and demand satisfied. Despite decades of well‐established critique, these measures have seen little substantive revision. As the global community looks to 2030 and beyond, a coordinated effort is urgently needed to dev…
Effect and cost-effectiveness of human-centred design-based approaches to increase adolescent uptake of modern contraceptives in Nigeria, Ethiopia and Tanzania
Around half of adolescent pregnancies in low- and middle-income countries are unintended, contributing to millions of unsafe abortions per year. Adolescents 360 (A360), a girl-centred initiative, aimed to increase voluntary uptake of modern contraceptives among adolescents in Nigeria, Ethiopia and Tanzania. We evaluated the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of A360 in increasing modern contraceptive use in selected geographies. We used before-…
Estimating private sector out-of-pocket expenditures on family planning commodities in low-and-middle-income countries
INTRODUCTION: The role of the private sector in family planning (FP) is well studied; however, few efforts have been made to quantify the role of private out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures on FP commodities across low-and-middle-income countries (LMICs). Calculating OOP expenditures is important to illuminate the magnitude of these contributions and to inform discussions on how financial burdens can be reduced. METHODS: Estimates of FP users and co…
Elevating Social and Behavior Change as an Essential Component of Family Planning Programs
The global family planning community has made significant progress towards enabling 120 million more women and girls to use contraceptives by 2020, though we enter the decade ahead with a long road yet to travel. While investment in strong health systems and supply chains is still needed, the supply‐driven approach dominant in family planning fails to address the individual, relational, and social barriers faced by women and couples in achieving …
Using the Demographic Health Survey wealth index to create family planning market segments based on absolute income levels
Family planning market segmentation approaches typically include analysis by wealth, particularly when considering whether individuals can afford out-of-pocket expenses in the private sector. Most commonly, this is done using the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) wealth index, which uses a relative approach by summing household asset questions and categorising respondents into five groups from poorest to wealthiest within a country. In addition…
Using Evidence to Drive Impact
When designing a family planning (FP) strategy, decision‐makers can choose from a wide range of interventions designed to expand access to and develop demand for FP. However, not all interventions will have the same impact on increasing modern contraceptive prevalence (mCP). Understanding the existing evidence is critical to planning successful and cost‐effective programs. The Impact Matrix is the first comprehensive summary of the impact of a fu…
Estimating the contribution of a service delivery organisation to the national modern contraceptive prevalence rate
Impact 2 is a useful tool for service delivery organisations to move beyond cruder output measures to a better understanding of their role in meeting the global unmet need for family planning. By considering health impact from the perspective of an individual organisation, Impact 2 addresses gaps not met by other models for family planning service outcomes. Further, the model helps organisations improve service delivery by demonstrating that incr…
