Your work on contraceptive product introduction has the potential for far-reaching impact. \u201cHealth concerns\u201d and \u201cinfrequent sex\u201d are the top self-reported reasons for non-use of contraception<\/a> among women with an unmet need for modern family planning methods in low- and middle-income countries. Many of these women say they want more contraceptive options that are non-hormonal, have milder or no side effects<\/a>, or can be used on-demand<\/a>. Alongside other efforts to advance universal health coverage, the launch and scale-up of more contraceptive choices can support finding a method that suits an individual\u2019s needs and preferences, prevents unintended pregnancies, and fulfills their reproductive intentions.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

To support your work, USAID\u2019s Expanding Effective Contraceptive Options (EECO) project has curated the\u00a020 Essential Resources: Contraceptive Product Introduction<\/a>\u00a0collection. The selected resources can support program planners\u2019 and implementers\u2019 efforts to analyze whether to make new contraceptive technologies available and how best to do so.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

A wide range of contraceptive method choices is needed to meet the diverse needs and preferences of women and men at different stages of their lives. The addition of new options to family planning programs can contribute to broader efforts to expand method choice and support people to achieve their reproductive intentions.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
