Making Contraceptive Choice a Reality in West Africa Featuring: The Ouagadougou Partnership Where: Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Senegal, and Togo Time Frame: 2011 – Present SUMMARY In West Africa, 225 women die every day while giving birth, and for every woman who dies, there are approximately 30 others who suffer infirmity. The Ouagadougou Partnership – a collaboration uniting the nine governments of Francophone West African countries, international donors, and civil society organizations – was formed to address this problem by increasing availability and use of family planning services. The partnership specifically targets the 25 percent of married women ages 15-49 in this sub-region who would like to space or limit births but are not using modern contraceptive methods. 117 WOMEN DELIVER 2016 CONFERENCE: SOLUTIONS PANORAMA Photo by Marie Stopes International/Nils Elzenga
HOW DOES IT WORK? The Ouagadougou Partnership is based on two principles: (1) Better coordination between donors will enable funding to flow to the highest-impact interventions and to better align with country priorities (including increasing choices available to women and families), and (2) collaboration and cooperation between countries at national and regional levels will efficiently spread best practices across the region. The first step for all member countries was to agree on an overall goal and to identify how each country could financially contribute. Next, the countries developed costed implementation plans (CIPs) for family planning, with specific and time-bound targets for increasing access to a variety of modern contraceptive methods, including long-term options like intrauterine devices. The CIPs also lay out precise steps to achieve those objectives, identify specific funding needs, and describe how each country’s plan will be monitored with the same set of indicators. Several countries have already begun developing a second generation of CIPs, with new targets for contraceptive choice. By establishing specific targets for contraceptive choice in the CIPs, and by tying funding to activities that increase choice, the Ouagadougou Partnership elevates contraceptive choice to the top of the government’s family planning agenda. With the original target reached ahead of schedule, The Partnership has set a new goal to reach 2.2 million additional contraception users by 2020. IMPACT At its founding in 2011, the Ouagadougou Partnership set a goal to reach an additional one million women, enabling them to choose a modern form of contraception by 2015. Careful monitoring in all nine countries by FP2020, the partnership’s monitoring and evaluation partner, demonstrated that an additional 1.2 million women across the nine countries were using modern contraceptive methods in 2015. In addition, the available mix of contraceptive methods has also expanded. From 2014 to 2015, 336,000 unsafe abortions and 3,950 maternal deaths were averted. The Partnership has now set a new goal to reach 2.2 million additional contraception users by 2020.
