Assessment of a Pilot Project to Introduce Community-Based Provision of Injectables in Benin
At the 2013 International Family Planning Conference in Addis Ababa, Benin formally announced a commitment to increase the contraceptive prevalence rate (CRP) to 20 percent by 2018, a goal that was affirmed with the launch of the National Costed Family Planning Plan for 2014-2018. According to the 2012 Demographic and Health Survey, the national CPR for modern methods was 7.9 percent, with family planning use higher in urban areas (9.5 percent) compared to rural (6.8 percent).
