Optimizing supply chains to empower women's choices

THE PROBLEM

Pie chart showing 76 million out of 111 million

76 M

Every year, there are 111 million unwanted pregnancies in low and middle income countries.

Meeting all contraceptive needs would prevent 76 million of these unwanted pregnancies every year.

Families' access to family planning in low- and middle-income countries is low, with about 25% of facilities in sub-Saharan Africa being stocked-out.

THE SOLUTION

We support countries in improving the procurement and distribution of family planning commodities to meet existing demand.

Allowing women access to the desired family planning commodities leads to:

Empowered fist representing autonomy

Empowering women to achieve their reproductive and birth spacing goals, greatly improving autonomy and subjective well-being.

Heart with heartbeat representing maternal health

Averting maternal deaths, unsafe abortions, and conditions such as obstetric fistula and postpartum depression.

Money representing economic benefits

Economic benefits for the whole family by enabling women to complete their education and join the labour force if they wish, and by lowering health expenses.
