Le projet AmplifyPF en Côte d’Ivoire : Les journées Spéciales de la Planification Familiale, une approche pour réduire les barrières financières à l’utilisation des méthodes de contraception

En Côte d’Ivoire, le taux de mortalité maternel est estimé à 385 pour 100.000 naissance vivante EDS-CI 21. La planification familiale est l’un des piliers pour réduire ce taux élevé de décès maternel. Or selon l’EDS-CI 2021 le taux de prévalence contraceptive est de 21% et les besoins non satisfaits de 22%. Aussi chez les jeunes filles en cours de scolarité,3 588 cas de grossesses ont été dénombré de septembre 2022 à avril 2023 selon le Conseil national des droits de l’homme.

L’une des causes majeures de la faible utilisation des méthodes contraceptive est la barrière financière. En effet en Côte d’Ivoire, l’offre des méthodes contraceptives est payante. Le prix pratiqué est exorbitant et diffère d’une formation sanitaire à une autre dans um même district. Cette situation limite l’utilisation de la PF à une certaine classe de cliente.

C’est pourquoi le projet AmplifyPF pour contribuer à réduire cette barrière financière et donner l’opportunité à chaque femme, chaque fille, de choisir le moment d’avoir des enfants et le nombre qu’elle voudrait, a organisé les journées spéciales de planification familiale afin d’offrir gratuitement toute la gamme de méthodes contraceptives à toutes les femmes qui la désiraient dans ses zones d’intervention.

Les résultats de ces journées spéciales sont très parlants. Joignez-vous au webinaire de la Côte d’Ivoire pour le partage de ces résultats.

The AmplifyFP project in Côte d’Ivoire: Family Planning Special Days, an approach to reducing financial barriers to the use of contraceptive methods

In Côte d’Ivoire, the maternal mortality rate is estimated at 385 per 100,000 live births (EDS-CI 21). Family planning is one of the pillars for reducing this high rate of maternal death. However, according to the EDS-CI 2021, the contraceptive prevalence rate is 21% and unmet needs are 22%. Also, from September 2022 to April 2023, there were 3,588 cases of pregnancy among young girls in school, according to the National Council for Human Rights.

One of the major causes of the low use of contraceptive methods is the financial barrier. The price charged is exorbitant and differs from one health facility to another in the same district. This situation limits the use of FP to a certain class of client.

Therefore, to help reduce this financial barrier and give women and girls the opportunity to choose whether and when to have children, the AmplifyFP project has organized special family planning days to offer the full range of contraceptive methods free of charge to all women who want them.

The results of these family planning days are very interesting. Join the Côte D’Ivoire webinar to learn more about these results.
