Family Planning Repositioning Case Study Reports
ACQUIRE has compiled five country-specific case studies that showcase the importance of family planning and the need for its continued support. The first three studies and synthesis report look at three countries that have made significant progress over the past 10–20 years: Ghana, Malawi, and Zambia. The final two studies analyze Senegal and Tanzania, countries that have shown relatively stable contraceptive prevalences followed by a significant decline in growth.
