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
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
