Why are more women in Africa choosing long term contraceptive methods?

The number of women using modern contraception in sub-Saharan Africa has nearly doubled to 66 million, thanks to methods like hormonal implants and injections reaching even remote areas. Community health workers play a crucial role, often delivering contraceptive injections and birth control pills door-to-door. Global health agencies have expanded family planning services to reduce child mortality and improve the education of girls. Recently, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) called on low-income countries to increase funding for reproductive health, and 44 governments have committed to raising their contributions annually.Presenter: Mpho Lakaje.
