Towards Increasing Contraceptive Prevalence in Burkina Faso through Task Sharing
Journal Title: Women's Health – Open Journal - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The prevalence of contraception in Burkina Faso (BF) has increased in the past 18 years from 5.8%1 in 1998 to 25%2 in 2016; an increase of 1% per year while population growth remains strong and stable at 3.1% per year. The main reasons for such low progression of contraceptive prevalence include insufficient information on contraceptive methods, lack of competent providers and their inequality repartition in facilities, and inadequate sexual and reproductive health policies and standards.
