About

Family planning, through birth spacing, has emerged as the appropriate strategy to improve socio-economic development indicators in Mauritania. It is with this in mind that the country has set itself the objective of improving the supply of family planning services. For 2025, Mauritania wants to increase the modern contraceptive prevalence rate among married women from 19.0% in 2020 to 25% by creating an enabling environment for the promotion of FP.
