Towards Increasing Contraceptive Prevalence in Burkina Faso through Task Sharing

Abstract

 The prevalence of contraception in Burkina Faso (BF) has increased in the past 18 
years from 5.8%1 in 1998 to 25%2 in 2016; an increase of 1% per year while population growth 
remains strong and stable at 3.1% per year. The main reasons for such low progression of 
contraceptive prevalence include insufficient information on contraceptive methods, lack of 
competent providers and their inequality repartition in facilities, and inadequate sexual and 
reproductive health policies and standards.
