Service Utilization

 

When individuals have access to FP services ("supply") and they are motivated to space or limit births ("demand"), they are likely to seek out FP services. "Service utilization" refers to the use of family planning clinics, community-based distributors, pharmacies, or other sources of family planning methods. Data on service utilization reflect the results from the efforts of the FP program.

This page provides data on service utilization and sales of contraceptive products from the government and private sector/NGO programs. Explanations for how these indicators are calculated appear in the section of this website on “information.”

DATA ON SERVICE UTILIZATION IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR


1. Contraceptive Prevalence

Proxy Measure based on Service Statistics

This indicator provides a rough estimate of the percent of married women using contraception in the catchment area. (In this case, the numbers are estimated from service statistics, not to be confused with the contraceptive prevalence rate [CPR] calculated from the DHS or MICS).

Commentary - from the PNSR Annual Report 2010
Since 2009, contraceptive prevalence has doubled, from 4% in 2009 to 8% in 2010. Contraceptive prevalence rates improved in all provinces, with the exception of the province Bandundu and Equator. The most significant increases occurred in Kasai-Occidental, Kasai-Oriental, Nord Kivu, Sud Kivu, Bas-Congo, and Kinshasa, where rates either doubled or tripled. PNSR considers coordination is necessary to build on its positive progress for the future, particularly in the provinces with lower rates of contraceptive prevalence.
