Social and behavior change (SBC) approaches can increase the use of modern contraceptives by addressing the attitudes and social norms that influence demand. However, they often do not receive attention, partly because many practitioners are not effectively measuring their SBC efforts. Breakthrough ACTION interviewed voluntary family planning stakeholders in West Africa to learn why.

When it comes to family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) programming, encouraging behavior change starts by understanding what shapes consumer decisions. Because when we truly understand the core attitudes that influence – and at times, limit – how people perceive contraception, we can better design and deliver solutions that serve their needs.
