Sources of Family Planning: Democratic Republic of the Congo

Understanding where women obtain their family planning methods can help programs to better target their resources and increase overall access to modern contraception. This brief is one in a series of country briefs that examines where women obtain modern contraception by method, geography, age, and socioeconomic status. Through a secondary analysis of the 2013–14 Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) Demographic and Health Survey, the brief describes where modern contraceptive users obtain their method and examines the contribution of the private sector to family planning in DRC.
