Mapping heterogeneity in family planning indicators in Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Nigeria, 2000-2020.

Background

Family planning is fundamental to women's reproductive health and is a basic human right. Global targets such as Sustainable Development Goal 3 (specifically, Target 3.7) have been established to promote universal access to sexual and reproductive healthcare services.
