CONTRIBUTION TO FAMILY PLANNING
Abt Associates provides data-driven capacity building, technical assistance, and policy support to help our clients—governments around the world—improve the quality of families’ lives. We collaborate with the private sector and civil society to help prevent unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and maternal deaths by increasing demand for and access to affordable, quality family planning (FP) services. Abt implements a wide range of FP projects – from SHOPS Plus which through a public/private engagement approach has delivered to couples over 2.5 million couple-years protection – to the DRC, where support to the public sector has resulted in 1.2 million new FP users in a year and a half.
