Attachments

This work aimed to conduct an analysis of the situation of the securing of reproductive health products during the period from 2017 to 2023. Based on periodic surveys on the supply and availability of contraceptive methods and vital maternal health medicines in health facilities (HFs) in the different countries of the UNFPA Supplies Partnership programme in West and Central Africa.

To do this, sixty-two (62) survey reports conducted from 2017 to 2023 in the HFs of the twenty (20) beneficiary countries1 of the programme were used to extract the results of the main indicators of the supply and availability of reproductive health (RH) products. These indicators were extracted by year and by country as reported in the reports. The extracted data were then pooled to estimate regional averages.

The analysis of the reports and the extracted data made it possible to identify findings and generate results at several levels.
