Description:
Voluntary family planning is one of the most efficacious and cost-effective means of improving individual health,
gender equity, family well-being, and national development. Increasing contraceptive use and reducing unmet
need for family planning are central to improving maternal health (UN Millennium Development Goal 5). In
less-developed regions of the world, especially Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, human and financial re-
sources are limited, modern contraceptive use is relatively low, unmet need for modern contraception is high,
and consequently maternal morbidity and mortality are high. [from abstract]
